Biography
I received my MEng degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Nottingham in 2004, before pursuing a PhD in Power Electronics here too. In 2008, after completing my PhD, I became a Research Fellow in the Power Electronics Machines and Control Group. Since 2008 I have worked on several projects in the area of high power electronics including high power resonant converters, high voltage power supplies, and multilevel converters for grid connected applications such as HVDC and FACTS. In 2012 I was promoted to Senior Research Fellow before becoming a Lecturer in High Power Electronics in 2013. My interests are in development and control of advanced high power conversion topologies for various industrial applications, future energy networks, and VSC-HVDC
I am a member of the Power Electronics, Machines and Control research group.
