Meet Our New Faculty Members
Jinia Roy - Power Electronics
Dr. Roy's primary research interests are WBG based modular power electronics converter for pulsed power applications including military, medical, and other industrial processes; and power converters for grid integration of renewable resources. She is also interested in power converters for electric transportation including traction drives, DC-DC converters, fast chargers, and green hydrogen.
Lei Zhou - Precision Mechatronics
Dr. Zhou uses her interdisciplinary precision mechatronics research as a powerful tool for solving problems in various application areas, including semiconductor manufacturing equipment and robotics. With a systems focus, she develops novel and high-performance mechatronic solutions by exploiting the synergy between precision machine design, electric machines, and control algorithms.

Video available: Watch Prof. Giri’s Talk on Jevons’ Paradox and Decarbonization online
Over a hundred years ago, the English economist William Stanley Jevons keenly observed that technological advances that increase energy efficiency leads to further increased energy consumption and not the other way around. In this talk, Prof. Giri reviews Jevons' observations and links it to present ones. The talk was given in September 2023 as part of the Wisconsin Energy Institute's Sustainable Energy series.
