Zedong Hu's work spans mechanical and electrical engineering, focusing on control of smart-material actuators (piezoelectric and shape memory alloy systems), condition monitoring of power electronics using heat and light-based sensing, and materials characterization such as nanoscale thin films and polymer gears. A common thread is combining sensing, signal processing, and control algorithms (including neural networks and adaptive filtering) to monitor or control physical systems' performance over time.
