The Power Electronics Applications Lab is lead by Professor Li Ran.

Power electronics plays increasingly important roles in the changing landscapes of electrical power generation and consumption, and the power grids between generation and consumption. Applications of power electronics are being actively pursued worldwide for advanced control functionalities and many of such studies assume ideal switches for power semiconductor devices.

With the devices physics, design and fabrication expertise and facilities at Warwick, our research aims to address, through the development and usage of next generation wide band gap devices, some of the fundamental concerns in power electronic systems: cost, efficiency and reliability etc.
