About
I'm a Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University, specializing in wireless power transfer systems and embedded AI. My research focuses on the intersection of power electronics and intelligent control, creating innovative solutions for next-generation wireless charging technologies.
Currently, I'm working under Dr. Huang Hen-Wei at NTU, where I develop MHz-level wireless power transfer systems, FPGA-based high-speed controllers, and AI-enhanced power electronic systems.
I completed my PhD in Electronic Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I pioneered novel approaches to 3D magnetic field shaping using planar coil arrays. My work has been published in top IEEE journals and has accumulated over 170 citations.
My research interests include MIMO wireless power transfer, high-frequency power conversion, motor drives, and the application of machine learning in power electronics.
