Brief Biography of the Speaker:
------------------------------
Dr. Bimal K. Bose has held the position of Condra Chair of Excellence
(Endowed Chair) in Power Electronics at the University of Tennessee,
Knoxville since 1987, where he was responsible for teaching and
research program in power electronics and motor drives. Concurrently,
he served as Distinguished Scientist (1989-2000) and Chief Scientist
(1987-1989) of EPRI-Power Electronics Applications Center,
Knoxville,TN. Prior to this, he was a Research Engineer in the GE
Corporate R & D Center (now GE Global Research Center), Schenectady,
NY, for 11 years (1976- 1987), an Associate Professor of Electrical
Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, for five
years (1971-1976), and a faculty member at Bengal Engineering and
Science University for 11 years (1960-1971). He is specialized in
power electronics and motor drives, specially including power
converters, PWM techniques, microcomputer/DSP control, electric/hybrid
vehicle drives, renewable energy systems, and artificial intelligence
(expert system, fuzzy logic and neural network) applications in power
electronics and motor drives. He has been power electronics consultant
in a large number of industries. He holds a Honorary Professorship in
Shanghai University (1991), China University of Mining and Technology
(1995), X'ian Mining University (1998) , Huazhong University of
Science and Technology (2002), and Honorary Adviser of Beijing Power
Electronics R & D Center (1990). He has authored around 200 papers and
holds 21 U.S. patents. He has authored/edited seven books in power
electronics: Power Electronics and Motor Drives - Advances and Trends
(Academic Press, 2006), Modern Power Electronics and AC Drives
(Prentice-Hall, 2002), Power Electronics and AC Drives (Prentice-Hall,
1986), Power Electronics and Variable Frequency Drives (Wiley/IEEE
Press, 1997), Modern Power Electronics (IEEE Press, 1992),
Microcomputer Control of Power Electronics and Drives (IEEE Press,
1997), and Adjustable Speed AC Drive Systems (IEEE Press, 1981). He
has given tutorials, keynote addresses and invited seminars
extensively throughout the world. Dr. Bose has served as a
Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE in both the IAS and IES, and is now
Vice-Chair of the IAS Distinguished Lecturer Program. Currently, he is
a member of IEEE USA Energy Policy. He is a recipient of a number of
awards, including IEEE Power Electronics Society Newell Award (2005),
IEEE Millennium Medal (2000), IEEE Meritorius Achievement Award in
Continuing Education (1997), IEEE Lamme Gold Medal (1996), IEEE-IES
Eugene Mittelmann Award (for lifetime achievement in power electronics
and motor drives) (1994), IEEE Region 3 Outstanding Engineer Award
(1994), IEEE-IAS Outstanding Achievement Award (1993), Calcutta
University Mouat Gold Medal (1970), GE Silver Patent Medal (1986), GE
Publication Award (1985), and a number of IEEE prize paper awards. He
also received the Distinguished Alumnus Award (2006) from Bengal
Engineering and Science University.
