Qibo MAO was born in Zhejiang, P. R. China in 1975. He received the Ph.D degree for research on radiation modes sensor by using shaped piezoelectric materials for structural-acoustic control in Mechanical Engineering from the Jiangsu University, China in 2001. From 2001 to 2003, he joined in Institute of Acoustics, Nanjing University, China as a postdoctoral research fellow continuing his research on active control of sound and vibration by using smart materials. From October 2003 to 2010, he was a research fellow in Laboratory for Acoustics, Empa-Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, Switzerland. Since 2010, he has belonged to the staff of Nanchang Hangkong University, School of Aircraft Engineering, China. In 2013, he was promoted to the position of a full professor for sound and vibration control, design of adaptive acoustic/vibration absorbers and vibration-based damage detection. He has published more than 100 international refereed journals and conference papers and has published three books (one in Springer).
