The faculty and graduate research is oriented towards analysis, modeling, design and control of power electronics circuits with application to power supplies and motion controls. Extensive research is currently under progress in the areas of power quality, converter topologies for power conversion, soft-switching techniques for high power conversion and adjustable speed drives with particular emphasis on induction motors and switched reluctance motors. Both conventional and modern control theories, such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and sliding mode, are applied in developing energy efficient controllers and converters.

Faculty and graduate research projects include:

	Converters for Power Supplies and Motor Drives
	DSP and Microcomputer Control of Motor Drives
	Intelligent Motion Control
	Electrification of Electromechanical Systems
	Automotive Applications of Power Electronics
	Design of Electric Machines and Drives
