Professor Junwei Lu (IEEE Life Senior Member, QLD IEEE chapter chairman of Power Electronics/Industry Electronics/Industry and Board Member of International Compumag Society) has an electrical engineering degree from Xian Jiaotong University, China, M.Eng. in electronic and computer engineering from National Toyama University, Japan, and a PhD in electrical and computer engineering from the National Kanazawa University, Japan.
From 1976 to 1984, he worked with the electrical power industry (now called State Grid) as a research engineer in China, where he was involved in various national research projects for the electrical power industry. In 1985, his academic study and research moved toward the area of computational electromagnetics at the laboratory of electrical communication engineering at Toyama University, Japan. In 1988, he worked on applied computational electromagnetics and was involved in the development of magnetics devices with the Laboratory of Electrical Energy Conversion at National Kanazawa University.
He joined the School of Microelectronic Engineering, Griffith University in 1992, and established Electrical and Electronic Engineering as a Foundation Professor in 2011. His fields of interest are high-frequency magnetics for power electronics and renewable energy systems, computational electromagnetics, EMC computer modelling and simulation. His current research interests include smart transformers and high-frequency rotary transformers, WPT with magnetic flux concentrator for EV and AGV, and V2G with built-in statcom and APF functions, smart hybrid AC/DC Microgrid, offshore wind turbine, and flywheel energy storage systems.
