Sinan Li

Dr. Li received the Ph.D. degree in electrical and electronic engineering from The University of Hong Kong, HK, in 2014. He has been with The University of Hong Kong and The University of Bath, U.K., as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow and an Assistant Professor, respectively, in2014-2019. He joined The University of Sydney in late 2019. He is the recipient of the 2021 Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), the 2019 Best Paper Award (Second Place) of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON POWER ELECTRONICS, and two world-renowned invention awards, including the prestigious Gold Medal with Special Recognition by the International Jury of Experts in The INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF INVENTIONS OF GENEVA, 2018. He is an inventor/co-inventor of 5 worldwide patents; 3 of these technologies have been commercialised. He serves as a Guest Associate Editor for IEEE JOURNAL OF EMERGING AND SELECTED TOPICS OF CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS and several other journals. He was a Founding Member of the IEEE-Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) at The University of Hong Kong. His research interests include all areas of power electronics.
