On November 22, 2023, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) published the 2024 Fellow List. Professors Hu Xiaosong and Ran Li from Chongqing University get on the list.
Hu Xiaosong, professor, doctoral tutor, Vice Dean of Elite Institute of Engineering, Chongqing University, Full-time Deputy Director of Automotive Collaborative Innovation Center under 2011 Program, IET Fellow, with research fields covering battery management algorithms and electric vehicle optimization. He has been engaged in the research on the optimization and control of new energy vehicle power systems for a long term and has organized/participated in 6 national projects and 7 key provincial projects. In addition, he has published more than 150 papers in high-impact journals such as Nature Rev. Electr. Eng., Cell-Series Joule, Energy Environ. Sci., Prog. Energy Combust. Sci., etc. and these papers have been cited for more than 27,000 times, with an H index of 94. He also won the Best Paper Award for 13 times and got 46 invention patents authorized. Furthermore, he has won another 9 awards, including the Second Prize of National Teaching Achievement, the First Prize of Natural Science in Chongqing, the First Prize of Scientific and Technological Progress in Chongqing, the Vehicle Transmission Innovation Award of the SAE International, the SAE Traffic Environment Excellence Award, and the First Prize of Science and Technology of the China Simulation Federation. He has been also granted more than 10 honors such as Young Scientist Award in Higher Education Institution by the Fok Ying Tung Education Foundation of the Ministry of Education, the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Outstanding Young Scholar Award, Clarivate-Globally Highly Cited Researchers (2019-2023), Outstanding Young Scientific and Technological Talent in China Automobile Industry and Top Ten Scientific and Technological Youths in Chongqing. It is worth mentioning that he also serves as associate editors of famous journals such as IEEE Trans. Intell. Transp. Syst., IEEE Trans. Veh. Technol., IEEE Trans. Intell. Veh., IEEE Trans. Indus.Informa., SAE J. Electrified Vehicles, ASME J. Autonomous Vehicles and Systems, SAE Automot. Innov.
Ran Li, a professor of School of Electrical Engineering, Chongqing University, successful candidate in High-quality Overseas Professionals Program, founder of China-UK Joint Laboratory of Silicon Carbide Power Electronics Technology and leader of Chinese side, mainly engaged in the research of test and simulation of power semiconductor devices. He was a doctor trained by Chongqing University in the early days and had the experience of studying in Britain for a long time. In addition, he served as a full professor at universities such as Durham University, The University of Warwick and appointed as a research and development engineer in Alstom Power Conversion. He also conducted cooperative research at MIT in the United States. At present, he mainly works on the research of packaging, reliability and customized application of power semiconductor devices. He has organized 1 key international cooperation project of the National Natural Science Foundation and completed 1 national key R&D planning project as the representative of the leading institution, presided over about 10 EPSRC projects in the UK, co-published 100 papers in IEEE/IET and published 3 monographs, totaling more than 13,000 citations. Furthermore, he has been honored with the Annual Best Paper Award by IEEE IAS and PELS for 5 times, Stanley-Gray of IMarEST and Global Research Award of Royal Academy of Engineering.
Professor Ran Li contributes two projects to the evaluation by IEEE. One is that he led the team of Chongqing University to cooperate with the University of Warwick in the UK to create the aging process testing technology and life model establishment method of IGBT devices under light load and high cycle fatigue stress from 2015 to 2018. By distinguishing the different mechanisms of initial fatigue effect and further development, this project makes it possible to evaluate the long-term reliability of power semiconductor devices under service conditions. The corresponding research results have been applied to the design of offshore wind power converters and marine electric propulsion systems by Siemens Wind Power, GE and other companies. The other is his research on mechanism of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) produced by power electronic converters and the time and frequency domain simulation method completed in the University of Nottingham of the UK from 1996-1998. This project focuses on various high-frequency resonance modes composed of system parasitic parameters, which makes high-frequency modeling and design prediction possible for the first time. It has become one of the classic achievements in the field of electromagnetic compatibility of power electronic systems for more than 20 years, and has been applied to the upgrading of electric drive products of Emerson and Control Techniques.
IEEE Fellow is the top-level member of IEEE, representing the highest honor awarded by IEEE, and is recognized as an authoritative honor and a significant professional achievement in academic and scientific circles. About 300 IEEE Fellows rated as Senior or Life are selected by IEEE peer experts every year. These elected fellows must have made great contributions to the progress or application of engineering science and technology and brought great value to society. Besides, the number of elected fellows should not exceed 1‰ of the total number of IEEE members in current year. Due to the small number of IEEE Fellows elected each year, they are basically outstanding scientists who have made significant achievements in the fields of science and engineering technology.
