About the speaker

 

      Dr. Bimal K. Bose (Life Fellow, IEEE) has held the Condra Chair of Excellence (Endowed Chair) in Power Electronics in the University of Tennessee, Knoxville since 1987, where he has been responsible for teaching and research program in  power electronics and motor drives. Concurrently, he served as Distinguished Scientist (1989-2000) and  Chief Scientist (1987-89) of EPRI-Power Electronics Applications Center, Knoxville. Prior to this, he was a research engineer in General Electric Corporate R & D Center (now GE Global Research Center) , Schenectady, NY for 11 years (1976-87), an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY for 5 years (1971-1976), and faculty member of Bengal Engineering College (now Bengal Engineering and Science University). Dr. Bose has extensive  research experience in power electronics and motor drives that include power converters, PWM techniques, microcomputer/DSP control, electric/hybrid vehicle drives, renewable energy systems, and artificial intelligence (expert system, fuzzy logic and neural network) applications in power electronics and motor drives. He has been a power electronics consultant in a  large number of industries. He holds Honorary Professorships in Shanghai University (1991), China University of Mining and Technology(1995), Xian Mining University(1998), Huazhong Univ. of Science and Technology (2002), and Honorary Adviser of Beijing Power Electronics  R&D Center(1990).

      He has authored more than 180  technical papers, and holds 21 U.S. patents. He has authored/edited seven books in power electronics: Modern Power Electronics and AC Drives (Prentice-Hall, 2002), Power Electronics and AC Drives (Prentice-Hall, 1986), Power Electronics and Variable Frequency Drives (John Wiley/IEEE Press, 1997), Modern Power Electronics  (IEEE Press, 1992), Microcomputer Control of  Power Electronics and Drives (IEEE Press, 1997), and Adjustable Speed AC Drive Systems (IEEE Press, 1981), and the 7^th  book Power Electronics and Motor Drives-Advances and Trends (Elsevier) is under publication (publication date Feb. 2006). He was the Guest Editor of the Proceedings of the IEEE “Special Issue on Power Electronics and Motion Control” (August 1994). He has been a member of the Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the IEEE since 1995. He has served as Distinguished Lecturer of both IA and IE Societies of the IEEE.  He has given tutorials, keynote addresses and invited  lectures extensively  throughout the world.

     Dr. Bose has served the IEEE in various capacities, including the  Fellow Committee, Lamme Medal Committee, IAS Outstanding Achievement Award Committee, Chairman of the IEEE IE Society Power Electronics Council, Associate Editor of the IEEE Trans. on Industrial Electronics, IEEE IECON Power Electronics Chairman, Chairman of the IA Society Industrial Power Converter Committee, IAS member of the Neural Network Council,  Vice Chairman of IAS Distinguished Lecture Program, etc.

    Dr. Bose is the  recipient of  many  Awards/Honors that include:

 

(1)    IEEE  Power Electronics Society Newell Award (2005),

(2)    IEEE Millennium Medal (2000),

(3)    IEEE Meritorious Achievement Award in Continuing Education (1997),

(4)    IEEE Lamme Gold Medal (1996),

(5)    IEEE Industrial Electronics Society Eugene Mittelmann Award (for life-time achievement in Power Electronics) (1994),

(6)    IEEE Region 3 Outstanding Engineer Award (1994),

(7)    IEEE Industry Applications Society Outstanding Achievement Award (1993),

(8)    IEEE Life Fellow (1996) (Fellow in 1989).

 

He is  also the recipient of  Calcutta University Mouat Gold Medal (1970), GE Silver Patent Medal (1986) and GE Publication Award (1985). Dr. Bose received the B.E. degree in 1956, M.S. degree in 1960 and Ph.D. degree in 1966.
