Dr. Huei Peng received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the 21
University of California, Berkeley in 1992. He is now a Professor at the
Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan.
His research interests include adaptive control and optimal control, with
emphasis on their applications to vehicular and transportation systems. His
current research focuses include design and control of electrified vehicles,
and connected/automated vehicles. In the last 10 years, he was involved in
the design of several military and civilian concept vehicles, including FTTS,
FMTV, Eaton/Fedex, and Super-HUMMWV—for both electric and hydraulic
hybrid concepts. He served as the US Director of the DOE sponsored Clean
Energy Research Center—Clean Vehicle Consortium, which supports more
than 30 research projects related to the development of clean vehicles
in the US and in China. He currently serves as the Director of Mcity, which
studies connected and autonomous vehicle technologies and promotes
their deployment. He has served as the PI or co-PI of more than 50 research
projects, with a total funding of more than 50 million dollars. He has more
than 250 technical publications, including 110 in referred journals and
transactions and four books. His h-index is 69 according to the Google
scholar analysis. The total number of citations to his work is more than
18,000. He believes in setting high expectation and helping students to
exceed it by selecting innovative research topics with real impact. One of
