**Meet the editor**

Dr Tao Zheng was born in Chongqing, China, in 1981. In 2003 and 2008, he received his BE degree and PhD degree, respectively, from University of Science and Technology of China, both in Automatic Control. He was also awarded the President's Excellence Prize by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008. He currently holds the Associate Researcher (equivalent to Associate

Professor) position with the Department of Automation, Hefei University of Technology, China. Dr Zheng's recent interests are in Advanced Model Predictive Control (including Nonlinear Model Predictive Control and Multi-Objective Model Predictive Control), Multi-Objective Optimization and Multi-objective Genetic Algorithm. He is also interested in the application of optimization theory to economy, for example the optimization problem in currency-circulation system.
