Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
National University Singapore, Singapore
Zhenyu Zhao (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, in 2015, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, in 2021. From 2021 to 2023, he was a Research Fellow at NTU’s Schaeffler Hub for Advanced Research and concurrently served as the Director of EEE-RSA. He is currently a Lecturer with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at National University of Singapore (NUS). His research interests include EMC, EM security, EM-based monitoring, impedance measurement and modeling, and AI-based applications in the aforementioned areas. He has published over 30 top-tier journal articles (e.g., IEEE TIE/TIM/TMTT/TAP/TED/TEMC) and 35 conference papers, and holds three patents. Dr. Zhao has received several prestigious awards, including the Best Student Paper Award from the Joint IEEE International Symposium on EMC and Asia-Pacific International Symposium on EMC (Joint IEEE EMC & APEMC) in 2018, the Young Scientist Award and the Best Paper Award from APEMC in 2022, the Young Scientist Award from International Union of Radio Science (URSI) in 2023, etc. He has served in executive positions at more than 10 international conferences, including the TPC Chair of APEMC in 2026, the Publicity Chair of SWA in 2024, and the Tutorial Instructor of I2MTC in 2023. He also serves as an Associate Editor for Measurement and IET Science, Measurement & Technology; an Editorial Board Member for Measurement Science Review and Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering; the Lead Guest Editor for IET Power Electronics. He is the Chair of IEEE EMC Society Singapore Chapter and the Deputy Secretary of Singapore Innovation and Technopreneurship Association.
Talk 1: Non-Contact Online Impedance Measurement Technology
Abstract: This talk begins with the importance of online impedance measurement for electrical devices, followed by an overview of common measurement setups. Subsequently, the non-contact online impedance measurement setups will be detailed, with their respective merits and limitations discussed. Application aspects will also be covered, including EMI filter design in switched-mode power supplies and motor drive systems, radiated emissions estimation of photovoltaic systems, and voltage-dependent parasitic parameters extraction of power semiconductors, etc. This talk should be of interest to EMC engineers in the fields of power electronics, renewable energy, and electric vehicles.
Talk 2: Characterization and Circuit Modeling of EMI Filtering Chokes in Power Electronics
Abstract: This talk provides an introduction to EMI filtering chokes in power electronics, with a focus on their characterization and circuit modeling. These topics help assess choke performance, optimize choke design, and facilitate system simulation, ultimately refining the EMI filter design. It begins with an overview of the chokes, detailing their structure, operational principles, and modes. The presentation then explores various methods for characterizing the chokes, including analytical, numerical, and measurement methods, and compares these approaches. Using the characterized information, the distributed, lumped, and multi-stage circuit models, along with their corresponding parameterization processes, will be discussed. The talk concludes by highlighting current challenges, exploring ongoing innovations, and recommending topics for future research in the field.
