Biography
Dr. Junrui Liang has received the Ph.D. degree in Mechanical and Automation Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Hong Kong, in 2010. Since November 2013, he is with the School of Information Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University, China, as an Assistant Professor. His most significant contribution was that he extended the impedance modeling and analysis, which conventionally was only used for linear systems, to some nonlinear power conversion systems such as the class-E power amplifier and piezoelectric energy harvesting systems. His recent research interests include dynamics of nonlinear electromechanical coupling systems, kinetic energy harvesting and vibration control, electrical power conversion and utilization research, renewable energy, etc.
Since 2008, Dr. Liang has published more than 40 peer-reviewed technical papers in international journals and conferences. He has received four research awards including the Best Student Contributions Award in the 2008 International Conference on Adaptive Structures Technologies (ICAST), Best Paper Award in Automation in the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA), Best Information Paper Award in the 2010 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA), and Postgraduate Research Output Award 2010 from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Dr. Liang is a member of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), and CPSS (China Power Supply Society). He currently serves as an Associate Editor for IET Circuits, Devices & Systems. He is also a member in the Program Committee of SPIE Smart Structures/NDE conference, Technical Committee of power and energy circuits and systems (PECAS) in the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, and Energy Harvesting Technical Committee (EHTC) in Adaptive Structures and Material Systems Branch, ASME Aerospace Division.
