Dr. Hua Lu from the Department of Mathematical Science at the University of Greenwich presents innovative methodologies in the design and modeling of power electronics. Focusing on electro-thermal management and reliability, the project aims to develop compact dynamic models for thermal analysis and embed them into multi-objective optimization frameworks. Key objectives include creating high-fidelity finite element models and reduced-order equivalents, integrating design variations into reliability predictions, and ensuring the practical application of these tools within the power electronics community.
