Suman Debnath and Maryam Saeedifard have been named the recipients of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) Best Trans. Paper Award authored by a graduate student.
Seven faculty members from the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering have been awarded promotion or tenure, effective July 1, 2017.
Recent ECE Ph.D. graduate Heng Yang and his doctoral advisor Maryam Saeedifard have been selected for the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Best Transactions Paper Award.
ECE Assistant Professor Maryam Saeedifard received the 2015 Technical Committee Working Group Recognition Award for her paper, “Trends in Microgrid Control,” from the IEEE Power System Dynamic Performance Committee.
She is being recognized for her research contributions in “highly-efficient, power-dense and fault-tolerant multilevel converter-based medium-voltage drives.”
Six Georgia Tech faculty members were named IEEE Fellows, effective January 1, 2022. They are Ghassan AlRegib, Levent Degertekin, Bonnie Ferri, Arijit Raychowdhury, Maryam Saeedifard, and May Dongmei Wang.
ECE Ph.D. student Zhi Jin (Justin) Zhang has been chosen for the prestigious Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Postgraduate Scholarship - Doctoral.
Maryam Saeedifard has been named as the recipient of the 2021 U.S. Clean Energy Education and Empowerment (C3E) Technology Research & Innovation Award.
Yi Zhang and Maryam Saeedifard won the first place prize paper award for 2020 in the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, one of the most impactful journals in the area of power electronics.
In 1988, the School of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology hired Bonnie Ferri as its first female faculty member. The School now has 13 women in its faculty ranks.
The proposed high-voltage solid-state transformer (SST) offers enhanced flexibility and control for integrating renewable energy sources and electric vehicles in power grids.
