Power Electronics

Dr. Fang Lin Luo is with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He received his BSc degree, first class with honors, in Radio-Electronic Physics from Sichuan University, Chengdu, China, in 1968 and his PhD degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EE & CS) from Cambridge University, UK, in 1986. After his graduation from Sichuan University, he joined the Chinese Automation Research Institute of Metallurgy (CARIM), Beijing, China, as Senior Engineer. From there, he then went to Entrerprises Saunier Duval, Paris, France, as a project engineer in 1981–1982, and subsequently to Hocking NDT Ltd, Allen-Bradley IAP Ltd, and Simplatroll Ltd. in England as senior engineer after he received his Ph.D. degree from Cambridge University. He is Fellow of the Cambridge philosophical society and a senior member of IEEE. He has published nine books and 300 technical papers in IEEE Transactions, IEE/IET Proceedings and other international journals, and in various international conferences. Dr. Hong Ye received her bachelor’s degree, first class, in 1995, a master engineering degree from Xi’an JiaoTong University, China, in 1999, and her Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, in 2005. She was with the R&D Institute, XIYI Company Ltd, China, as a research engineer from 1995 to 1997. She was with NTU as a research associate in 2003–2004 and has been a research fellow from 2005. Dr. Ye is an IEEE member and has co-authored nine books. She has published more than 60 technical papers in IEEE Transactions, IEE Proceedings and other international journals and various international conferences. Her research interests are power electronics and conversion technologies, signal processing, operations research, and structural biology.
