    Welding is often the last stage in manufacturing of high value added product and thus affects the overall competitiveness of manufacturing industry. Next generation manufacturing calls for innovative methods to produce welded structures meeting service requirements at lower costs/energy consumption and higher speeds. A number of innovative methods have thus been proposed at the University of Kentucky to better understand and control welding processes for enhanced abilities to assure weld quality and make welds faster at reduced heat input/energy consumption and cost. Examples of recent efforts include the use of real-time measurement of specular weld pool surface in weld joint penetration control, modeling and analysis of the human welder response, transfer human welder response model to welding robots, machine-assisted control of human welder operation, machine-human collaborative control, and intelligent robotic welding.

    YuMing Zhang has been with the University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, USA since 1991 where he is currently the James R. Boyd Professor and directs the Welding Research Laboratory. He received BS and MS degrees in control major from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) where he later finished his PhD degree in welding major in 1990. His research in innovative welding processes and advanced sensing and control of welding processes at the University of Kentucky has been continuously funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and brought him over 170 peer-reviewed journal publications, 7 US patents, and recognitions including Donald Julius Groen Prize from The Institution of Mechanical Engineers, United Kingdom; IFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control) Congress Poster Paper Prize; IFAC Congress Application Paper Finalist; and numerous awards from the American Welding Society (AWS). Four of his PhD students received the prestigious Henry Granjon Prize (2015, 2013, 2012, 2009) from the International Institute of Welding (IIW). In addition, Zhang is also a Fellow of the AWS, a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and a Fellow of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
