معرفی
Dr. Jennifer Bauman is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at McMaster University. Her research focuses on the electrification of transportation, power electronic converters, vehicle design and control, and smart-grid integration of electric vehicles (EVs). She holds a B.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo and has 8 years of industry experience as Director of Research at CrossChasm Technologies. Her work spans three levels: low-level power electronics optimization, mid-level vehicle system design, and high-level EV-grid interaction analysis.
Education: B.A.Sc. and Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Waterloo (2004, 2008). Professional registration: P.Eng. (Professional Engineer). Teaching: Instructors for ECE 724/MECHENG 721 on Modeling, Control, and Design of Electrified Vehicles.
Research Interests: Development of efficient power electronic converters (e.g., using wide-bandgap devices), optimization of hybrid/electric powertrains, and analyzing EV impacts on smart grids. Notable contributions include a 65kW boost converter for fuel cell vehicles and studies on solar-charged EV architectures.
Grants & Awards: Received $1.9M in CFI infrastructure funding (2017) as part of a team. Lab: Located in ITB A220, focusing on advanced vehicle electrification and grid-integrated systems.
