Research

 

I am currently doing research in the broad area of distributed generation (microgrids) both at a component level studying power electronics interfaces, and at a system level through controls analysis, and improvements in terms of reliability and efficiency.

 

Some of my current research topics are:
  • Microgrids architectures and control.
  • Power infrastructure in hurricanes (please click on any of the hurricane logos below to see pictures from my site-surveys). NSF CAREER award #0845828.
  • Interactions between microgrids and the power grid with focus on "smart-grid' applications. Please check the Pecan St. Project page for information about Austin's participation in the development of the future power grid.
  • Multiple-input dc-dc converters.
  • Datacenters and telecom power infrastructure.
  • Constant-power loads control.
  • Interfaces and controls for photovoltaic systems.
  • Power electronics for oil production from algae.
  • Low-input voltage and high-power converters.

Note for prospective and current students. I am currently seeking students with background in power electronics and power systems, and with strong and verifiable math knowledge, particularly in statistical and probabilistic analysis.
