Wenbin Wan

Dr. Wenbin Wan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New Mexico (UNM). He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and his M.S. in applied mathematics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). He earned a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Missouri–Columbia. He was appointed as a MechSE Teaching Fellow at UIUC, and named a CPS Rising Star by the University of Virginia. He was selected as an NM SPARK Scholar at UNM.

His research interests are in control and optimization, machine learning, and cyber-physical systems (CPS) and their safety-critical applications. He is especially interested in enabling the safe operation of CPS with large uncertainties, such as CPS attacks, unforeseen environments, and faulty models. His work integrates resilient estimation, machine learning, and robust adaptive control to improve system safety, reliability, and resilience.
