On the morning of December 2, 2024, Professor Nasser Jazdi, a distinguished professor from the University of Stuttgart, delivered an academic lecture titled "Intelligent Manufacturing: Presenting Current Research Activities in This Field" at our university. The lecture, hosted by Professor Zhong Zhun, a national high-level young talent at our school, took place in the Fifth Meeting Room on the first floor of the Feicui Science and Education Building A. The event was attended by key figures such as Wang Huilei, Deputy Director of the International Exchange and Cooperation Office, and Wu Gongqing, Vice Dean of the School of Computer Science and Information Engineering, along with a large number of faculty and students, who engaged in an enriching academic atmosphere during the lecture.

In his presentation, Professor Jazdi provided a comprehensive overview of the latest research achievements from the University of Stuttgart's Institute of Industrial Automation and Software Engineering in the field of intelligent manufacturing automation. He focused on cutting-edge topics such as intelligent digital twins, large language models (LLM), and machine learning, offering in-depth analysis of current research trends and dynamics. Through dynamic case studies, he highlighted the vast potential and promising applications of these research areas.

Professor Jazdi is not only the Deputy Director of the Institute of Automation at the University of Stuttgart, but also a senior expert at IEEE. He leads the Siemens Digital Twin System Architecture project and the Daimler Group Automotive Assembly Quality Management project. Additionally, he heads the AI projects at the Bosch Research Center, focusing on the application of intelligent digital twin systems, AI in automation, and the reliability of flexible automation systems within the context of Industry 4.0. To date, Professor Jazdi has published over 100 academic papers in internationally recognized journals and successfully led more than 40 industrial projects funded by the German Federal Research Ministry and the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. His research has had a profound and far-reaching impact on both the academic and industrial communities.

This lecture not only provided our faculty and students with a valuable platform for in-depth academic exchange with a leading international scholar but also broadened their academic horizons. It sparked great interest and enthusiasm for research in the field of intelligent manufacturing. We look forward to more academic exchange activities like this in the future, which will continue to elevate our school 's research in the field of intelligent manufacturing.
