Prof Mohammed of Florida International University

Electrification of the transportation industry and large-scale integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid represent some of the most disruptive transformations of our time. This engineering field brings ideas from Computational electromagnetics, power and energy, electromechanics, IoT, and artificial intelligence. This enables the creation of efficient, reliable, safe, and environmentally friendly means of implementing these ideas in new applications.

In this talk, we will share our views on the future of these applications through a detailed

discussion of the roles of computational modeling, Power electronics architectures,

devices, the embedding of components, challenges of utilizing magnetics, and thermal

management under higher operational frequencies, currents, and voltages. We will

discuss packaging issues and describe some applications requiring increased power

densities. This part of the presentation will identify the areas of research, which hold the

promise of high impact and potential for achieving improved performance.
