The Power Electronics Laboratory at University of California,
Irvine, is a state-of-the-art research facility. The
research in the Power Electronics Laboratory at UCI involves
modeling, control, topologies, and integration of switching
converters, inverters, class-D power amplifiers, soft switching
techniques, single-phase and three-phase power factor correction
methods, single phase and three-phase active power filters,
power conversion for alternative energy sources, etc.

Our research goal is to find simple, elegant, and effective
solutions to fundamental and persistent engineering problems, to
generalize our theoretical findings, and to provide engineering
design guidelines to industry. During this process, we guide our
students on the path of becoming authorities in the field of Power
Electronics.  

UCI Power Electronics Laboratory enjoys world wide reputation
for its innovative research, unique industrial applications, and
high quality graduate students.
