Yun YANG

  I received my Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from The University of Hong Kong in 2017, where I subsequently worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow until 2020. From 2020 to 2022, I served as a Research Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I am currently an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, where I lead the Sustainable Power Conversion Laboratory.

  I have received several technical awards, including the IEEE APEC Outstanding Presentation Award (2016), the IEEE JESTPE Second Prize Paper Award (2023), and the IEEE TPEL Second Place Prize Paper Award (2025). To date, I have authored or co-authored over 160 technical papers, including more than 80 leading journal publications and two ESI Highly Cited Papers. I have also published two books and two book chapters and am an inventor or co-inventor of ten patents.

  I have been listed among the world's top 2% most-cited scientists by Stanford University/Elsevier since 2022 (Single-Year) and 2025 (Career-Long). In 2026, I was recognized as a ScholarGPS Highly Ranked Scholar, placing among the top 0.05% worldwide in Wireless Power Transfer.

  I have received the IEEE TPEL Outstanding Reviewer Award in 2022 and 2024 and currently serve as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications.

  My research interests include power electronics, wireless power transfer, solid-state transformers, power conversion for AI data centers, and battery and energy storage systems.
