讲座预告

Xiaoze Pei received the B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from Beijing Jiaotong University, Beijing, China in 2006 and 2008, respectively. She received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Manchester, Manchester, U.K. in 2012. She became a Research Associate at the University of Manchester. In 2017, she joined the University of Bath as a Lecturer.

Xiaoze Pei is a Registered PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner, IET Chartered Engineer (CEng), and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA). Dr Pei is co-director of the Electronics Materials, Circuits & Systems (EMaCS) Research Unit. Dr Pei has been awarded an EPSRC New Investigator Award on developing SFCL for distributed electric propulsion aircraft. She has also been awarded a Royal Society International Exchange Programme to investigate the integration of SFCL with a mechanical switch. She was a co-investigator on the EPSRC funded project to develop an HVDC circuit breaker integrating superconductor technology. She is a co-investigator on the Cummins APC 15 TRIDENT project, focusing on assessing the fuel cell compressor motor design. She has considerable experience in Power Electronics and over ten years in Applied Superconductivity. Her current research interests include superconducting fault current limiter, hybrid DC circuit breaker, cryogenic power converter and novel electric machine design.

Dr Pei serves as secretary for IEEE Power Electronics Society Technical Committee TC10: Design Methodologies and treasurer for TC10 flagship conference - IEEE Design Methodology Conference 2021 and 2022. She also serves the UK Magnetics Society committee member responsible for the area of Applied Superconductivity and Technical Committee for 1st Emissions Free Air Transport through Superconductivity Conference in 2021. Dr Pei is a member for CIGRE JWG B4/A3.86- Faut Current Limiting Technologies for DC Grids. She is an UK management committee substitute on the EU COST Action CA19108 - High-Temperature SuperConductivity for AcceLerating the Energy Transition.
