He serves as an Associate Editor of IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.

讲座简介：

With the increasing use of power electronics technologies, the automotive and aerospace industries have brought stringent reliability constraints on power electronic converters because of safety requirements. Today, many energy and transportation applications require power electronic systems with low return rates during a service life of 20 years or more. The renewable energy sectors are also following the same trend to reduce the cost-of-energy by reducing the maintenances. More and more efforts are being devoted to improving power electronic systems to account for reliability with cost-effective and sustainable solutions.

This seminar will introduce the recent progress in the multi-disciplinary research activities on power electronics reliability, and the associated limitations, challenges, and opportunities. It will mainly cover the following aspects: the motivations for highly reliable power electronic systems for electric energy conversion; key research directions in the area of power electronics reliability; state-of-the-art reliability analysis methods, and reliability-oriented design and control for power electronic components and systems; present research limitations and challenges, and future research opportunities. A few case studies and ongoing research activities will also be discussed throughout the seminar.
