Dr. Issa Batarseh is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Central Florida (UCF). He received the Ph.D., M.S. and B.S. degrees all in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1983, '85 and '90, respectively. Dr. Batarseh was a visiting Assistant Professor at Purdue University from 1989 to 1990 before joining UCF in 1991.Dr. Batarseh's power electronics research focuses on the development of high frequency power converters to improve power density, power factor, efficiency and performance. The research includes the analysis and design of high frequency dc-to-dc resonant converter topologies; low-voltage dc-dc converters, small signal modeling and control of PWM and resonant converters; power factor correction techniques; power electronic circuits for distributed power systems applications. His has published many journal and conference papers and a textbook entitled ? Power Electronic Circuits?. Dr. Batarseh has served as a Chairman of the PE/AES/PEL Chapter of the Orlando IEEE Section. He is also a fellow of IEEE and serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transaction on Aerospace and Electronic Systems and Transaction on Circuits and Systems. He served as a reviewer for the National Science Foundation and several IEEE-Transaction Journals and served on the program committees of IEEE-APEC, PESC, IECON, IAS and ISCAS. He is a registered Professional Engineer in Florida. |
