updating it soon.
Welcome to the my research group website.
Alexis Kwasinski's research
interests are in the broad areas of power
electronic systems, distributed generation, and
critical infrastructure resilience, with
emphasis on:
-
Distributed generation
(microgrids)
- Resilient power supply
- Lifeline interdependencies
- Effects of natural disasters on critical
infrastructure (particularly electric power
and communications).
-
Power electronics
systems: circuit design and controls
- Smart grids
-
Efficient electrical
energy conversion and storage
-
Renewable and
alternative energy
-
Motor drives
Dr. Kwasinski is
particularly interested in analyzing the effects
of natural disasters on critical power
infrastructure, such as communication networks
power supply, and studying ways of reducing the
vulnerability of these critical power
infrastructures to such extreme events.
Dr. Kwasinski's background
is in telecommunications power systems. He
values research in practical applications based
on sound theoretical analysis and experimental
verification.
