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:
UPS
battery cycle extension
Submarine
propulsion power: motor
drives, instrumentation, quality of shipboard and shore power, battery
charging
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
