Electrical and Computer
Engineering research at the University of Idaho
My
research is in the area of power electronic converters, great and
small. These range from projects in wind turbine converters
to motor drives to small power supplies to microbattery
chargers. Each system has a need for converting power into a
different form or level. Power electronics is often the
preferred means to do this. Ongoing projects are the
following:
Power
conversion circuits in CMOS SOI
High voltage
CMOS silicon on insulator (SOI) switching devices
Hybrid electric
vehicle power conversion and drive systems
Modeling and
design of protection for matrix converters
Innovative and
compact battery chargers and monitors
Distributed
power generation and electronic conversion: wind, water, fuel cell, solar, flywheel
Power quality
