He has been Associate Editor for several peer-review IEEE journals,
including IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, IEEE
Transactions on Vehicular Technology, and so on. He has
authored/edited 8 books, published over 170 IEEE journal papers,
been granted over 150 invention patents in the related field of LMs
and drives.
Biography: (Fellow, IEEE and IET) is
Professor and Director of the Flexible Transmission and Distribution
Systems Research Institute at the Department of Electrical
Engineering, Tsinghua University, China. He has been engaged in
research on power system stability analysis and control,
sub-synchronous resonance/oscillation, grid integration of renewable
energy, and flexible transmission and distribution systems for more
than 25 years. His research is supported by China National Science
Funds for Distinguished Young Scientists and National Key Research
and Development Programs. He has published 4 monographs, over 300
papers, and more than 70 authorized invention patents, and won 1
National Science and Technology Progress Award and over 10
provincial-level/industry association awards. He is currently
serving as Editor of several international journals, including the
IEEE Transaction on Power Delivery. He is a member of the IEC
TC8/SC8A JWG5, CIGRE WG C4/B4.52 and CIGRE WG C4.49.
Biography: Jun Peng is a Professor of
Sustainable Energy Engineering. He received his PhD degree from
National Engine Combustion Lab (current State Key Lab of Engines),
Tianjin University, China in 1996, for a research on the
investigation of high pressure fuel injection and spray
characteristics. Then after four years working experiences as
research fellow in Brunel University and two years as senior
development engineer in Ford Motor Company, he held the position of
Lecturer since 2004 and Senior Lecture since 2007 in the University
of Sussex. Prior to his current appointment, he worked as Professor
in Engineering in the University of Bedfordshire.
Jun Peng’s research interest lies in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics
and combustion with applications on flows and combustion in IC
engines, gas turbines, fuel cells and other sustainable energy
systems. His research has involved both numerical simulation and
experimental investigation including various laser diagnostics. His
recent research works have contributed to sustainable vehicle
powertrain, non-carbon water transport technology, combination of
solar PV and solar thermal for energy efficiency improvement, etc.
Jun Peng is a fellow of IMechE, chartered engineer recognised by
IMechE and the member of Professional Review Committee of IMechE. He
is the Associate Editor of IET journal of Electronics Letters (SCI
indexed) and an Editorial Board member of Johnson Matthey Technology
Review (SCI indexed). He was an invited fellow of Japan Society for
the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
