Electric motor drives, advanced motor control, loss minimization control in electric machines, solar energy maximum power tracking, power electronics design for solar energy applications, renewable energy integration in micro-grids. My goal is to achieve break-through technologies in power electronics research related to efficient energy production and utilization in electric motor drives, and efficient energy conversion from solar panels. My research so far has excelled at an impressive pace with my research lab being active in publications and proposals in less than 9 months after joining UCONN. I aim at expanding my research group, apply and get funded by federal agencies and industry partners, and achieve high-impact publications in addition to intellectual property when possible.

I believe that students have the right to learn fundamental and state-of-the-art information that makes them ready for the workforce and for further educational and research explorations. It is also their right to have an accessible instructor for questions and concerns. Thus, I work hard on having my students learn practical, theoretical, and design aspects in electrical engineering with significant feedback to enhance their experience. I also utilize technology to facilitate my course organization, but without full reliance on such technology to keep human interaction as the main link between us. Electric machines, electric drives, motor control, solar energy conversion, power electronics, real-time control of energy systems, and reliability modeling of energy systems.
