Update this profile

PhD Queen's University 2005

I had several talks to the IEEE sections in Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto and was an invited speaker to many IEEE top-tier conferences in Canada and worldwide. I was also a honorary speaker for the HBC (Hydrogen business council) for numerous times.

Services

Since July 2013, I have continued my academic services inside and outside UOIT and I have been actively involved in a number of committees as listed below:

Since joining UOIT, I committed myself to participate in administrative tasks and to serve the academic community inside and outside UOIT. Presently I am participating in two major committees at UOIT: the University Pension and Benefits Committee, the Faculty Association Governance Committee, the Power Stream Leader of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. I also served as the interim chair of the IEEE student chapter at UOIT in 2017. Participation in these committees has given me the chance to develop and significantly improve my administrative skills by working very closely with senior professors at UOIT and learning from their experience. These skills will be of great asset in the future for me to take on bigger administrative responsibilities inside or outside the Department. Outside UOIT; I launched the IEEE Industrial Electronics Chapter under the Toronto section in 2015 and serve as its vice chair since then (http://toronto.ieee.ca/industrial-electronics/).
