Prof. Zhongliang Jing received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electronics and Information Technology from Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China, in 1983, 1988, and 1994, respectively. He worked at China Leihua Electronics Technology Institute (1983–1985) and Northwestern Polytechnical University (1988–2000). Since 2000, he has been with Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), serving as Associate Dean of Electronic Information and Electrical Engineering (2001–2004) and Executive Dean of Aeronautics and Astronautics (2005–2018). He currently directs the Engineering Research Center and the Shanghai Collegiate Key Laboratory of Aerospace Science and Technology. He was Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley (1997–1998) and Visiting Professor at Southern Illinois University (1999). His research interests include adaptive filtering, target tracking, information fusion, avionics integration, and soft robot control. Prof. Jing has published over 200 journal papers and seven monographs. He is Editor-in-Chief of aerospace systems and serves on several editorial boards.

Dr. Wu Xu received his B.S. in engineering mechanics from Harbin Engineering University in 2007 and Ph.D. in solid mechanics from SJTU in 2012. He completed postdoctoral research at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (2012–2015), and joined SJTU’s School of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 2016, where he became Associate Professor and Vice Dean in 2022. His research focuses on solid and fracture mechanics, composite materials, and their applications in aircraft structural design. His work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, AVIC, COMAC, and the Shanghai Sailing Program. Dr. Xu has published over 70 journal papers and two books and serves as Associate Editor of Aerospace Systems.

Dr. Haichao Hong received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2013 and 2019. He is now Associate Professor at SJTU’s School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He conducted research as Visiting Ph.D. Student and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Flight System Dynamics, Technical University of Munich (TUM). His research interests include trajectory optimization, guidance and control, and flight mechanics. Dr. Hong is Senior Member of AIAA and Member of its Guidance, Navigation, and Control Technical Committee and serves as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems and on the editorial board of aerospace systems.

Dr. Sutthiphong Srigrarom (Dr. Spot) received his Ph.D. from the University of Washington, USA, in 2002. He is Teaching Fellow in mechanical engineering and Senior Research Scientist at Temasek Laboratories, National University of Singapore (NUS). He previously worked at Boeing, Nanyang Technological University, and the Singapore Institute of Technology–University of Glasgow Singapore. His research covers small unmanned aircraft design, applied aerodynamics, aerial robotics, UAS applications, AI for UAS, and vision-based navigation. He teaches Small Aircraft and UAS and Swarm Robotics at NUS and is Visiting Associate Professor at TUM’s Institute of Flight System Dynamics. Since 2020, he has published over 10 journal and 40 conference papers (H-index 15, 700+ citations).

Dr.-Ing. Andreas Hermanutz is Faculty Head of aerospace engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) Asia campus, leading the M.Sc. program and strengthening TUM’s research network in Asia. He holds B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees from TUM and has served as Research Associate at the TUM Institute of Lightweight Structures (2014–2018) and Chair of Aircraft Design (2018–2020). His research focuses on aircraft structural design, loads, and aeroelasticity, emphasizing modern simulation methods in fluid–structure interaction and the dynamics of highly flexible wings.
