Serhiy is the Director of the Institute for Aerospace Technology, Professor of Aircraft Electric Power Systems and a member of the Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) research group. He received his MSc and PhD degrees in electromechanical systems from the National Technical University of Ukraine in 1987 and 1994, respectively, and has been with the University of Nottingham since 2000. Since 2004, his main research focus has been aligned with More-Electric Aircraft in the area of aircraft electric power systems, including power generation, distribution and conversion, power quality, control and stability issues, power management and optimisation, as well as their advanced modelling and simulation methods.
Professor Serhiy Bozhko has developed well-recognised international profile due to the high-quality and originality of his research outputs. He is a member of the SAE AE-7 International Standards Committee for Aircraft Electrical Systems and the Chair of AE-7M committee on Model-Based Design of Aircraft Electric Power Systems. He is among the organisers of major conferences in the field and was the General Chair of the IEEE Conference on Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railways, Ship Propulsion and Road Vehicles and International Transportation Electrification Conference in 2018 (IEEE ESARS-ITEC’2018). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
Currently, Serhiy leads several EU and industry-funded projects in the aerospace electric power systems (EPS) field and his research interests include:
- EPS for MEA including their architectures, electric power generation and distribution
- Smart power management in MEA EPS
- Advanced control and stability issues
- Electric power quality
- Advanced modelling and analysis methods, as well as simulation techniques
