Teaching
My main contribution to teaching is in the areas of electrical machines, drives and control. I deliver lecture series at 4th year, 5th year and MSc levels:
- EE466/EE966 Power Electronics, Machines & Applications
- EE575/EE975 Power Electronics for Energy and Drive Control
I also lecture on the subject of electrical machines to 1st year PhD students in the Strathclyde Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Wind Energy.
I supervise individual and group projects at 3rd year, 4th year, 5the year and MSc levels.
Research Interests
Current research interests include modelling and control of power converters for HVDC applications.
