Driving Next - Gen Mobility & Power Solutions
AMPE4RE is a young and dynamic research lab dedicated to advancing motor drives, EMI/EMC, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control technologies. With a focus on addressing India-specific challenges, we emphasize research projects that have practical and industrial relevance. To date, four PhD scholars have graduated from the lab, enhancing our growth and reputation. As we broaden our horizons, we are on the lookout for exceptional research scholars, motivated Master's degree candidates, and interns to join us in our mission to drive innovation in power electronics and sustainable mobility solutions.
Dr. J. Kalaiselvi leads the AMPE4RE Lab with expertise in power electronics and motor drives. She earned her B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Periyar University and her M.E. in Power Electronics and Drives from Anna University. In 2015, she completed her Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras. Currently, she serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT Ropar, where she actively mentors research focused on India’s evolving power and mobility needs.
Research Interests
Her research focuses on electric motor drives and power electronic converters for electric vehicles, industrial systems and renewable energy integration. Her work spans three themes:
Electromagnetic compatibility: Conducted EMI in Si and SiC inverter-fed drives (BLDC, SRM and integrated motor drives), solid-state transformers and DC–DC converters.
Reliability and fault diagnosis: Fault detection and fault-tolerant control of BLDC, SRM and SynRM drives and isolated DC–DC converters, using model-based, signal-based (including motor current signature analysis) and AI-driven methods.
Advanced drives and converters: High-speed switched reluctance motor drives for compressor applications, and isolated DC–DC converters, including dual active bridge converters, for grid and EV applications.
