Welcome to the DREAM Lab !!
Chanyeop Park, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). Prior to joining UWM, he was an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Research Director of the Paul B. Jacob High Voltage Laboratory at Mississippi State University (MSU) from 2019 - 2022. Prior to joining MSU, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Georgia Tech from 2018 - 2019. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2018, and his M.S. and B.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea, in 2013 and 2011, respectively.
He is an IEEE Senior Member, a Technical Committee member of the IEEE Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation Society, and a member of the Cigre D1.64 - Cryogenic Dielectrics Working Group. He serves as a reviewer of IEEE Transaction on Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transaction on Power Delivery, IEEE Transaction on Transportation Electrification, IEEE Transaction on Applied Superconductivity, and IOP Superconductor Science and Technology.
Dr. Park's career goal is to identify and address existing and emerging dielectric challenges in power electronic systems. His research interests include (U)WBG power semiconductor packaging, partial discharge, space charge, electrets, nonlinear electric field grading materials, soft electronic materials, lightning-resistant materials, cryogenics, low-temperature plasma, applied superconductivity, and SF6-free switchgear. He published more than 95 peer-reviewed papers, of which 39 are journal articles. His research has been funded by federal sponsors, including ONR, NSF, Arpa-e, and AFCEC, as well as industry sponsors, including G&W Electric, NEC Labs America, AIRBUS, and Raytheon Technologies.
