Yujing Liu

Yujing Liu is a Full Professor at Chalmers University of Technology's Department of Electrical Engineering, specifically in the Electric Power Engineering unit. With 17 years of prior industrial experience at ABB Corporate Research as a Senior Principal Scientist, he transitioned to academia in 2013. His research focuses on electrical machines, power electronics, and sustainable electrical systems, particularly for renewable energy conversion and transportation electrification. Current projects include high-sustainability electrical machines (up to 400 kW), SiC inverters (up to 500 kW), motor emulator development, heavy-duty vehicle electrification, and 500 kW inductive power transfer systems.

Professor Liu serves as Head of Unit for Electrical Machines and Power Electronics since 2018 and leads Chalmers' contributions to 4 EU Horizon2020 and 2 Marie-Curie projects. He mentors 4 postdocs, 5 PhD students, and a dozen master's students, while teaching annual courses on electrical machine design and wide-bandgap power converters.

His 88 publications (2013-2025) investigate advanced motor control algorithms, thermal management in traction systems, high-frequency excitation methods, and hybrid energy storage solutions. Research keywords include Electrical Engineering, Sustainable Energy, Transportation Electrification, and Industrial Electronics, with subfields addressing SiC inverters, electric vehicle drivetrains, and inductive charging systems.

Key projects funded by Swedish Energy Agency and European Commission cover applications in marine propulsion, heavy-duty vehicles, and renewable energy integration, emphasizing high-efficiency powertrain development and reliability improvements in traction motor insulation systems.
