Yihua Tang was born on December, 1978. He received the B.Sc., M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees from Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2001, 2004 and 2007 respectively. Then he spent two years (2007-2009) in China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2009, he joined Northwestern Polytechnical University as a teacher. His representative published articles lists as follow: A Genetic Algorithm (GA) Method of Orbit Interception with Finite Thrust (Journal of Northwestern Polytechnical University, 2005), A Precise Initial Guidance Law for Orbit Interception (Flight Dynamics, 2006), Midcourse Guidance Based on Zero Effort Miss for Exo-Atmospheric Intercept (Flight Dynamics, 2007), Intercept Optimization of Exo-Atmospheric Interceptor Based on Genetic Algorithm (Transactions of Nanjing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, 2007), Online Reentry Guidance for Reusable Launch Vehicles (Missiles and Space Vehicles, 2010), Second Generation Reusable Launch Vehicle and its Reentry Guidance Technologies (Missiles and Space Vehicles, 2010), Rapid Reentry Trajectory Planning Based on Nonlinear Optimization of Terminal Matching (Journal of Astronautics, 2010), Reentry Trajectory Planning Based on Genetic Optimization of Terminal Matching (International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology, 2011). His research interests include Flight Vehicle Design, Dynamics and Control.
