Meet Our New Faculty Members
Jinia Roy - Power Electronics
Dr. Roy's primary research interests are WBG based modular power electronics converter for pulsed power applications including military, medical, and other industrial processes; and power converters for grid integration of renewable resources. She is also interested in power converters for electric transportation including traction drives, DC-DC converters, fast chargers, and green hydrogen.
Lei Zhou - Precision Mechatronics
Dr. Zhou uses her interdisciplinary precision mechatronics research as a powerful tool for solving problems in various application areas, including semiconductor manufacturing equipment and robotics. With a systems focus, she develops novel and high-performance mechatronic solutions by exploiting the synergy between precision machine design, electric machines, and control algorithms.

September 27, 2023Sustainable Energy Seminar by Prof. Giri: Jevons’ Paradox and Decarbonization
Over a hundred years ago, the English economist William Stanley Jevons keenly observed that technological advances that increase energy efficiency leads to further increased energy consumption and not the other way around, backed by impeccable data. In this talk, Prof. Giri will review Jevons' observations and link it to present observations.

September 14, 2023Focus on new faculty: Jinia Roy is designing the next generation of power converters
Thomas A. Lipo Assistant Professor Jinia Roy, who has academic, government and industry research experience, is bringing a broad expertise in power conversion to WEMPEC. At WEMPEC, Jinia says she wants to continue with her wide portfolio of previous research interests and hopes to also work on the power conversion needed within electric vehicles. She also plans to explore applications where pulsed power technologies are gaining traction like laser, radar, and other industrial processes including water treatment and ozone generation.
