Research Interest
The development of high frequency power converters to improve power density, efficiency and performance: Analysis and design of high frequency dc-to-dc resonant converter topologies; Small signal modelling and control of PWM and resonant converters; Power factor correction techniques; Distributed Power Systems.
Research in Progress
Investigation of zero-voltage-switching dc-to-dc resonant topologies; Small signal modeling of dc-to-dc resonant converters; Modeling of resonant converter topologies with three and four energy storage elements; Active power factor correction techniques; Applying robust control for the stability of resonant and PWM converters.
Research Results
The research results have led to the publication of ten IEEE Transaction papers, nine other journals and more than 46 presentations to international and national conferences. During the last four years, six MS Theses were completed and three Ph.D. students are currently engaged in research. Moreover, three US patent applications have been filed and many power supply companies have expressed interest in these inventions. Allied Signals Co., and the Industry Application Society of IEEE have funded this research.
