`numerous other honors and recognitions.
`In 1984, he was named the Outstanding Young
`Engineer of the Year by the Brazos chapter of Texas Society of Professional Engineers.
`In 1992, he was named the Halliburton Professor in the College of Engineering at A&M.
`In 1994, he was also named the Dresser Industries Professor in the same college. In 2001
`he was selected for Ruth & William Neely/ Dow Chemical Faculty Fellow of the College
`of Engineering for 2001-2002, for “contributions to the Engineering Program at Texas
`A&M, including classroom instruction, scholarly activities, and professional service”.
`2003, he was selected for BP Amoco Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence in the
`College of Engineering. He was also selected for the IEEE Vehicular Society 2001
`Avant Garde Award for “Contributions to the theory and design of hybrid electric
`vehicles.” In 2003, he was selected for IEEE Undergraduate Teaching Award “For
`outstanding contributions to advanced curriculum development and teaching of power
`electronics and drives.” In 2004 he was elected to the Robert M. Kennedy endowed
`Chair in Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University. In 2005, he was elected as the
`Fellow of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). He is the co-author of twelve books
`on power electronics, motor drives and advanced vehicle systems, including Vehicular
`Electric Power Systems, Marcel Dekker, Inc. 2003 and “Modern Electric Hybrid
`Vehicles and Fuel Cell Vehicles — Fundamentals, Theory and Design,” CRC Press, 2004.
`He has over 23 granted or pending US and EC patents. His current research work is in
`power electronics, motor drives, hybrid vehicles and their control systems.
