I have accomplished my Power Electronics M.A.Sc. degree from ePower of Queen's University, working under the mentorship of Dr. Praveen K. Jain and Dr. Shangzhi Pan. Currently, I am a PHD student in CPES of Virginia Tech with Dr. Qiang Li and Dr. Liyan Zhu .
My research involves PV micro inverters, coupled magnetics application in resonant converters, current sharing techniques of multiphase converter, and high precise digital control.
Prior in my research journey, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Wuhan University.
Outside of academia, I like photographing, aerial filming, and Soulslike games.
Power Electronics: From grid-scale to power modules;
Digital Control Techniques: Adaptive voltage positioning with high dynamic responds, trajectory control for multiphase converter, time domain analysis based resonant converters, and asymmetry PWM modulations;
Complex Magnetics Coupling in Power Converters: Symmetrical coupled inductors' behavior and their potential in current/voltage balancing, multiport active bridge (MAB) transformer, power decoupling, and high density magnetic integration;
Resonant Converters: High frequency resonant converter and its application in PV micro inverters, Multilevel-modular Converters, and computation systems' VR modules;

Verified a variable frequency control method for multiphase Buck converter, the adaptive voltage positioning technique is actived, the whole control architecture is implemented with VHDL and tested with modelsim co-simulation
Course reports of ELEC835, the complex behavior of voltage mode buck converter is discussed, with poincare mapping and bifurcation anlysis, for both CCM and DCM operation modes. Verification is based on math model as well as power electronics circuit simulation
