Dr. Hai Huang, Professor, School of Astronautics, Beihang University.

He got his bachelor, master and Ph.D degrees in 1983, 1986 and 1990 respectively, all from Beihang University, Beijing, China. He ever worked as a post-doctoral fellow on composite joint strength and design in the Wichita State University, USA, from June, 1999 to October, 2000.

He now also works as the editorial board members of Chinese Journal of Aeronautics and the international journal Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization. He ever worked as vice dean of School of Astronautics in charge of graduate education during Jan., 2001~ Jun. 2015, and the Chair, Dept. of Spacecraft & Launch Vehicle Technology in above school during Jun. 2003 ~May. 2023.

His research areas are concept design of spacecraft, system and structural optimization, structural control as well as their applications. His research works are constantly supported by National Natural Science Foundation，National High-tech Project, as well as the aerospace engineering institutions in China. He was the Chairman of General Committee，Asian Society of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (ASSMO). As the Co-Chairman he organized The 13th World Congress of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (WCSMO 13) in Beijing, 2019. One of His achievements “The theories and algorithm of complex structures” was awarded the first grade Natural Science Prize of China Universities，and the software "Engineering System of Structural Optimization for Spacecraft SPOS " was awarded The 2nd grade Science & Technology Progress Prize by former Aerospace Group Corporation of China.

During the past 15 years he led his team to endeavor in applying the proposed structural optimization theories and the developed software to aerospace engineering, including the practical designs for application satellites. These works are great helpful to reduce the spacecraft structural mass. In the area of structural/mechanical vibration control, he studied and developed several kinds of vibration isolation and simulation devices that are used in ground vilifications and tests aiming to space applications.

Recent years he, as a team leader and chef designer, works on a student small satellite program (APSCO-SSS) that well combines theoretical study with engineering practice. The work is supported by APSCO (Asin-Pacifica Space Cooperation Organization) and was written in the government white paper 《China Space activities 2016》. The satellite has successfully launched in orbit in Oct. 2021, and a series of space flight verification tasks, including coilable mast deployment in-orbit, Earth imaging, space based ADS-B technology and inter-satellite communication, have been successfully completed. The results show quite good and exciting. This work is honored as “a landmark achievement of China Aerospace leading Asian-Pacific space cooperation”.
