DESCRIPTION:Dr. Frans Dijkhuizen\, Hitachi's Corporate Research Fellow with
  expertise in power electronics and HVDC systems\, will visit Oak Ridge Na
 tional Laboratory's Hardin Valley Campus\, where he will offer a technical
  talk on a topic to be decided. The event will be virtual\, and a Teams li
 nk will be provided to the registered participants the evening before the 
 event.\n\nDr. Frans Dijkhuizen is a Research Fellow at Hitachi Energy Rese
 arch with 25 years industrial experience in research and development of hi
 gh-power electronic converters for HVDC and power quality solutions. Dr. D
 ijkhuizen earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Eindhoven Un
 iversity of Technology TU/e\, the Netherlands. He joined ABB Corporate Res
 earch in Västerås Sweden in 2001 in the field of high-power electronics 
 for research and development of grid connected converter technology for HV
 DC Light and Power Quality solutions\, and since 2019 at Hitachi Energy Re
 search. In his global role he is responsible for the long-term research an
 d strategy in the field of high-power electronics for dc applications.\n\n
 Dr. Dijkhuizen holds numerous patents in the field and serves as an Associ
 ate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics\, is vice-chair 
 of IEEE PELS TC8 2025\, vice-chair of the IEEE PELS International Technolo
 gy Roadmap of High-Power Electronics for Modern Energy Grids (ITRG). He is
  also a working group member since 2016 first with the European standardiz
