Xu Qingsong, professor in the Department of Electromechanical Engineering of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), University of Macau (UM), has been elected a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the design and control of robotic micro- and nano-positioning and manipulation systems. Prof Xu is the first scholar from Macao to receive this honour from the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. His election not only reflects his significant contributions to scientific research but also highlights UM’s growing reputation in the international academic community.
IEEE, formed in 1963, is the world’s largest and most prestigious non-profit international society in the fields of electronics, electrical engineering, computer science, communications, and automation engineering. IEEE currently has over 460,000 members across more than 190 countries and regions, and IEEE Fellow is the highest grade of membership in IEEE. The selection process for IEEE Fellows is rigorous, with no more than 0.1% of the total voting membership being elevated to Fellow grade each year. This prestigious title is awarded to distinguished scholars who have made significant contributions to the advancement of science and technology and have had a profound impact on society.
Prof Xu is a professor in the Department of Electromechanical Engineering of FST at UM and is the founding director of the Smart and Micro/Nano Systems Laboratory (SMNSL) of FST. He obtained his PhD in electromechanical engineering from UM in 2008, joined UM as an assistant professor in 2010, and was promoted to associate professor and full professor in 2015 and 2019, respectively. In 2021, Prof Xu was elected a fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), becoming the first scholar from Macao to receive this honour. Together with the IEEE Fellowship, he has become one of the few Chinese scholars to hold fellowships from both ASME and IEEE.
Prof Xu has published four monographs in English and over 400 papers in international journals and conferences. His research has earned him numerous awards, including several Macao Science and Technology Awards. Prof Xu has been listed among the top 2% of scientists in the world for six consecutive years, from 2019 to 2024. He currently serves as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Robotics and has held editorial positions for more than ten prestigious international journals, including IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering, and IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. Prof Xu’s achievements have enhanced UM’s reputation in the international academic community and given new impetus to robotics and automation research worldwide. His success will continue to inspire more students to pursue excellence, explore the unknown, and contribute to societal progress.
澳門大學科技學院機電工程系教授徐青松獲選為國際電氣和電子工程師協會會士（IEEE Fellow），以表彰他在微納米定位及操控機器人領域的傑出成就。作為IEEE機器人與自動化學會首位獲此榮譽的澳門學者，徐青松的當選反映著其對科學研究領域的傑出貢獻，也彰顯著澳大在全球學術界聲譽的顯著提升。
電氣和電子工程師協會（Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, IEEE）自1963年成立，是全球電子、電氣、計算機、通信、自動化工程技術研究領域最著名、規模最大的非營利性跨國學術組織，在全球190多個國家和地區擁有46萬多名會員。IEEE Fellow是該會授予成員的最高榮譽。IEEE Fellow評審程式規範嚴格，當選人數不超過IEEE當年會員總數的千分之一，且僅授予對科學技術進步作出重大貢獻並對社會產生深遠影響的優秀學者。
徐青松於澳大科技學院機電工程系執教，並擔任該學院智能與微納系統實驗室（SMNSL）的創始主任。他於2008年獲澳大機電工程博士學位，2010年在澳大擔任助理教授，並分別於2015年及2019年提前晉升為副教授及教授。徐青松於2021年當選為澳門首位美國機械工程師學會會士（ASME Fellow），成為少數幾位同時榮獲ASME Fellow和IEEE Fellow的華人學者。
徐青松目前已出版四本英文著作，並在國際期刊和會議上發表400多篇論文。他的研究成果屢獲嘉獎，包括多次榮獲澳門科學技術獎，以及在2019至2024年連續六屆入選年度及終身全球前2%頂尖科學家名單。他目前擔任《IEEE機器人彙刊》副主編，並曾任職於多個重要國際期刊的技術編輯或副主編職位，包括《IEEE／ASME機電一體化彙刊》的技術編輯、《IEEE自動化科學與工程彙刊》、《IEEE機器人與自動化快報》等十多個國際期刊的副主編。徐青松的成就不僅提升了澳大在國際學術舞台上的聲譽，同時為全球機器人與自動化科學的研究注入新動力，其成功的經歷將繼續激勵更多學子追求卓越、探索未知，為社會進步作出更大貢獻。
