Oscar A. Schott Professorship
IEEE Fellow
University of Minnesota Distinguished Teaching Award

My primary research interests are power electronics and electro-mechanics for motion control. I also conduct research in ac and dc power transmission and analyze the effects of electromagnetic transients and reactive power fluctuations. My latest research interest is in harnessing wind energy.
