About Us

Welcome to AMPE4RE - Applied Motor Drives & Power Electronics for Research & Education

At AMPE4RE, we are dedicated to advancing the field of motor drives and power electronics with a specific focus on electric vehicle (EV) technology. Our lab is a collaborative environment where researchers, students, and industry professionals come together to explore innovative solutions for the challenges facing modern transportation and renewable energy integration.

Our Mission
Our mission is to pioneer research that enhances the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of electric vehicles and their components. We aim to bridge the gap between academia and industry by developing cutting-edge technologies that address real-world problems, particularly in the realms of electromagnetic interference (EMI), fault detection, and control systems.

Research Focus
Our research encompasses a diverse range of areas, including:

• Conduction Mode EMI Issues in Inverter-Fed Drives: We investigate EMI challenges in silicon (Si) and silicon carbide (SiC) inverters used in both two-level and dual-two-level configurations, critical for the performance of electric vehicles.

• Conducted EMI and Fault Tolerant Control in Solid-State Transformers: Our work in this area focuses on integrating renewable energy sources into the grid and microgrids, emphasizing conducted EMI issues and the development of robust fault-tolerant control systems.

• EMI in SiC Inverter-Fed BLDC Drives: We explore EMI issues specific to brushless DC (BLDC) drives powered by SiC inverters, which are essential for the efficient operation of electric vehicles.

• Fault Detection and Tolerant Control in BLDC Motor Drives: Our research aims to create advanced techniques for fault detection and implement tolerant control systems in BLDC motor drives, enhancing the reliability and safety of electric vehicles.

Collaborative Environment
At AMPE4RE, we believe in the power of collaboration. We partner with leading industry experts, academic institutions, and research organizations to share knowledge and resources, driving innovation and facilitating the translation of research findings into practical applications.
