Ke Zhang received the Ph.D. degree in Control Theory and Engineering in 2012 from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China. From October 2009 to March 2010, he was a Visiting Student with the Systèmes et Applications des Technologies de l'Information et de l'Energie, Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, Cachan, France. His research interests cover fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control for dynamic systems and their applications. He has published more than 30 papers in international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, IET Control Theory and Applications, International Journal of Control, etc. Dr. Zhang currently serves as an Associate Editor for Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems, and a Reviewer for many important international journals, including Automatica, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, etc. He is a senior member of the IEEE.

Bin Jiang was born in Jiangxi, China, in 1966. He received the Ph.D. degree in Automatic Control from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, in 1995. He had ever been a Post-Doctoral Fellow, a Research Fellow, and a Visiting Professor in Singapore, France, USA, and Canada, respectively. He is currently a Chair Professor of Cheung Kong Scholar Program with the Ministry of Education and the Dean of the College of Automation Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China. His current research interests include fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control and their applications. Prof. Jiang currently serves as an Associate Editor or an Editorial Board Member for a number of journals, such as the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, The IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, the International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems, Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems, the International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Acta Automatica Sinica, and the Journal of
