Xingang Fu, Ph.D., is currently working as an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in applied mathematics from the Ocean University of China, Qingdao, China, in 2005 and 2009, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Alabama in 2015. His main research interests include neural network control, embedded artificial intelligence, heterogeneous computing, power electronics, renewable energy, solar integration, and electric drives.
Project overview
This project will investigate how to utilize artificial intelligence/machine learning for controlling power electronics converters, e.g., solar inverters, to enhance the efficiency of power conversion and reliability when facing uncertainties such as noise and disturbances. The student will contribute to a larger study of real-time control of an artificial intelligence-based controller for power converters.
