Woongkul Lee works on power electronics and electric machines, focusing on how to design, control, and improve the reliability of devices that convert and manage electrical power—such as inverters (which convert DC power to AC), DC-DC converters, and motor drives used in electric vehicles and other transportation systems. Recent work emphasizes new inverter topologies with fewer components, reducing electromagnetic interference (unwanted electrical noise), improving efficiency of power converters, and modeling how these systems degrade and fail over time. The lab also studies motor design, gate-drive circuits for power semiconductors, and sustainability topics like reusing and recycling batteries and power electronics components.
