He was the first in China to carry out technological innovation and engineering practice of micro-nano spacecraft. As the overall leader, he was in charge of the design, construction, launch, and in-orbit operation of multiple micro-nano satellites, including "TH-1," "NS-1," and "NS-2." Among them, the NS-1 satellite was the smallest "wheel-controlled three-axis stabilized satellite" in orbit at that time in the world. He has made significant contributions to the scientific and technological progress of space microsystems and microsatellites in China. He has broken through several core technologies and developed a series of devices and microsystems with international advanced levels, such as miniature MEMS energy storage devices and energy microsystems, MEMS sun sensors, micro/nano star trackers, MEMS switches/relays, MEMS scanning mirrors, and detection microsystems. Many of these products have been applied in the fields of aviation and aerospace. He has successively won three second prizes of the National Technology Invention Award, two second prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and more than ten provincial and ministerial-level scientific and technological awards that are not duplicated with national-level rewards. He has been granted more than 90 national invention patents, published over 400 SCI/EI papers, authored four monographs, and translated two books.

Title: Meta-Intelligence for Distributed Intelligence

Abstract：

Modern distributed systems must operate under uncertainty, across environments, infrastructures, and applications that vary widely. Within the Computing Continuum (IoT–Edge–Fog–Cloud), applying neuroscience-inspired principles and mechanisms may help us build more flexible solutions that can generalize across diverse settings. Intriguing hypotheses in neuroscience propose that many brain functions in humans and animals arise from a small number of powerful principles. If these hypotheses hold, they could offer deep insight into how humans and animals cope with unpredictable events—and even support imagination. In this talk, we explore how Active Inference, alongside established design principles for modern distributed systems—such as elasticity, predictive equilibrium, and antifragility—can enable Distributed Intelligence across the Computing Continuum.
