Dr Haimeng Wu

Assistant Professor

Department: Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering

I started to work at the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering at Northumbria University in 2020. I am a management committee member and chair of the delivery group at The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU), Northumbria University, which collaborates with Newcastle and Durham Universities. Before joining Northumbria University, I have been with the Electrical Power Research Group at Newcastle University since 2012 and is currently a guest staff member at the School of Engineering. As a postgraduate researcher, I was awarded a full PhD scholarship by the Engineering and Physical Science Council (EPSRC), and then received my PhD in power electronics from Newcastle University in 2016. Then I joined Prof Volker Pickert's research team as a Research Associate until 2020.

During the period of 2012-2020, I have successfully completed multiple collaborative UK research projects as a principal researcher, including two EPSRC-funded projects and two Innovate UK-funded projects totalling over £1.2 million. I am the winner of the Siemens European TAPAS community challenge competition in 2018, beating out over 200 other proposals from throughout Europe. In 2020, I was appointed as an associate editor on the Editorial Board of IET Power Electronics, and I'm also the session chair for two IEEE international conferences in electrical and power engineering (IEEE PEAS 2021, IEEE CoEEPE 2021). I have been serving on the technical committees of numerous conferences and as an active reviewer for over 20 renowned IEEE, IET, and Elsevier journals (e.g. IEEE Transaction on Power Electronics and Industrial Electronics).

I am a full Fellow of the High Education Academy and an active member of IEEE and IET. As the module tutor, he has been involved in 5 course modules for MSc/UG students in the field of Electrical Engineering(e.g. MSc: Renewable Energy Technologies for Electricity Supply, UG: Analogue Electronics and instrumentation). In the past two years, I have supervised four 4 PhD students, 8 MSc students and 9 undergraduates for their individual research projects.

My current research interests include electrical power conversion and control algorithms for electric vehicles and renewable energy networks, health monitoring and condition control on the next generation wide bandgap (WBG) power modules for converters, and wireless power transfer techniques. ​ Please contact me if you are interested in pursuing a PhD in these fields or other relevant research areas.
