Short bio
Qinghua Zhang received his BSc. in 1986 from University of Sciences and Technologies of China, DEA in 1988 from Université de Lille 1, PhD in 1991 and HDR in 1999 both from Université de Rennes 1. He was a post-doctorant during 1992 at the Automatic Control Division of Linköping University. Since 1993 he works at Inria as a researcher, and since 2001 as a senior researcher.
