Brief Introduction of Professor Peng Fangzheng
Professor Peng Fangzheng, Member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, IEEE Fellow, and Fellow Member of the U.S. National Academy of Inventors, formerly served as Chief Scientist at the Power Electronics R&D Center of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and at the Technical Research Institute of Toyo Electric Manufacturing Corporation. He has held faculty positions at Tokyo Institute of Technology, Michigan State University, and Florida State University. Currently, he is the Chair Professor and Director of the Energy Grid (Smart Grid) Research Institute at the University of Pittsburgh.
Professor Peng's research primarily focuses on high-power electronics and its applications, including high-power motor drives and propulsion, grid control and intelligence, and in-depth studies on system fault tolerance, self-healing, and resilience. He pioneered the concept of active/virtual resistance and was among the first to conduct research on multilevel converters and flexible AC transmission systems. He invented the Delta-connected Modular Multilevel Converter (MMC) Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and proposed the Impedance Source (Z-Source) concept, inventing Z-Source control technology. He holds more than 30 patents and has published over 400 academic papers (including 2 in Nature Scientific Reports and over 300 SCI-indexed papers), with a total citation count exceeding 70,000 and an H-index of 106. In 2012, he was honored with the prestigious University Distinguished Professor title by the Michigan State University Board of Trustees and was inducted into the Hall of Fame during the 118th U.S. Congress. He ranks among the top scientists globally in Stanford University's rankings and is ranked 4th worldwide in the comprehensive fields of electrical, electronics, and energy. He has received numerous awards, including the IEEE Newell Award (the highest honor in power electronics field), the IEEE Kliman Inventor Award, the IEEE IAS Outstanding Achievement Award, and dozens of excellent paper prize awards.
