Rate My Professor Minyue Fu

Professor Minyue Fu is a Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science within the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment at the University of Newcastle, Australia, where he has been a faculty member since 1989. He earned his B.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, in 1982, followed by M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1983 and 1987, respectively. Prior to joining Newcastle, Fu served as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wayne State University from 1987 to 1989. At Newcastle, he progressed from Lecturer (1989-1991) to Senior Lecturer (1992-1995), Associate Professor (1996-2002), and Professor (2002-present). He has held key leadership roles, including Head of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (1998-2001), Head of the Discipline of Electrical and Computer Engineering (2003-2004), Head of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (2005-2006), Associate Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Complex Dynamic Systems and Control (2003-2011), and Director of the Priority Research Centre for Complex Dynamic Systems and Control (2015-2018).

Fu’s research specializes in control theory and signal processing, with focus areas including robust control, H∞ control, networked control systems, multi-agent systems, distributed optimization and estimation, cyber-physical systems, fault-tolerant control, and quantized feedback control. He has authored over 500 publications, including seminal papers such as 'The Sector Bound Approach to Quantized Feedback Control' in IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (2005), 'Distributed Kalman Estimation with Decoupled Local Filters' in Automatica (2021), 'Dynamic State Estimation for Power Networks Using Distributed MAP Technique' in Automatica (2016), and recent book chapters on 'Switching Adaptive Control' and 'Robustness Analysis for Uncertain Control Systems' (2026). Fu has served on editorial boards as Associate Editor for Automatica (2004-2007), IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (1993-1998), and IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing (2010-2014), and as Area Editor for Journal of Optimization and Engineering (1998-2006). His contributions are recognized through fellowships: IEEE Fellow (2003), Engineers Australia Fellow (2019), Chinese Association of Automation Fellow (2018), and IFAC Fellow (2022). Fu’s work has garnered over 15,000 citations, influencing advancements in networked systems and control engineering.
