Dr. Jiangfeng Wang was born in Zhejiang Province, China, 1990. He is currently an Associate Research Fellow with the School of Electrical Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China. He was selected forthe Ministry of Education Talent Program, the Jiangsu Provincial Young Science and Technology Talent Support Program, and World's Top 2% Scientists ranked by Stanford University. He received the B.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China, in 2012 and 2018, respectively. From Mar. 2019 to Dec. 2021, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.

He has authored more than 30 technical papers. The citation of his publications in Google Scholar is over 1000. He holds over 20 invention patents, two of which have been successfully commercialized by him as the first inventor, generating a technology transfer value of nearly 5 million RMB. Additionally, he has participated in drafting two international standards. He serves as an Associate Editor for theJournal of Power Electronics and theChinese Journal of Electrical Engineering, and as a Session Chair for international conferences such as IEEE ECCE, IEEE ECCE Asia, IEEE eGrid, etc. Dr. Wang has received numerous honors, including multiple Best Paper Awards, and the Best Engineering Achievement Award in the 2013 IEEE International Future Energy Challenge.
