He was named as a highly cited Researcher. He is a Coeditor of two edited volumes: Control of Chaotic Nonlinear Circuits (Singapore: World Scientific, 2009) and Computational Intelligence and Its Applications (Singapore: World Scientific, 2012); and author/coauthor of three monographs: Stability Analysis of Fuzzy-Model-Based Control Systems (New York, NY, USA: Springer, 2011), Polynomial Fuzzy Model Based Control Systems (New York, NY, USA: Springer, 2016), and Analysis and Synthesis for Interval Type-2 Fuzzy-Model-Based Systems (New York, NY, USA: Springer, 2016).

Abstract
The integration of reinforcement learning techniques with fuzzy model-based control systems is a powerful approach in control theory, yet research results and efforts remain limited. This presentation explores the synergy between reinforcement learning algorithms and fuzzy logic, aiming to optimize control strategies in complex and dynamic environments. The theoretical foundations and practical applications will be integrated, highlighting their ability to adapt and learn from experience while maintaining robust performance. Further research topics on combining fuzzy logic and reinforcement learning techniques will also be discussed.
