Wei Zhang | Electrical Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Mr. Wei Zhang | Electrical Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Suzhou vocational University | China

Dr. Wei Zhang, a dedicated educator and researcher in power electronics at Suzhou Vocational University, holds a degree in Control Theory and Control Engineering from Suzhou University. He has established himself in the field of high-frequency isolated AC/AC conversion. His current research focuses on eliminating bulky DC intermediate energy storage and implementing soft-switching control strategies to reduce device switching losses, thereby improving converter efficiency and system reliability. He has published in respected journals such as the International Journal of Electronics and engages actively with industry through power-industry consultancy projects. As a teacher, he not only advances the academic frontier but also mentors students in hands-on converter design and simulation. His work has led to validated simulation and experimental results, demonstrating both theoretical correctness and practical feasibility. Looking ahead, Dr. Zhang aims to further transform power‐electronics architectures toward more compact, efficient, and digitally controlled systems, contributing to sustainable energy conversion and smarter power infrastructure.

Mr. Yosef Wubet | Electrical Engineering | Young Scientist Award

University of Gondar Institute of Technology | Ethiopia

Yosef Birara Wubet is a lecturer and researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering, specializing in power systems and renewable energy. He holds a Master of Science in Power System Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Power and Control Engineering, both from Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia. Since joining the University of Gondar as Lecturer (previously Assistant Lecturer), he has taught, supervised undergraduate projects and internships, reviewed journals, managed team projects, and contributed to practical works in both academic and industrial settings. His research interests span transient stability analysis using machine learning (notably artificial neural networks), fault classification and detection, solar power system design, smart grid technologies, modeling and design of controllers, system stability and forecasting, and modeling renewable energy integration. He has published multiple articles in peer-reviewed journals, including “Transient Stability Assessment and Enhancement of Hydropower Plant Using Artificial Neural Network” and “Design and modeling of ANN-based automatic generation control and voltage regulator for integrated hydropower plants in Ethiopia.” His honors include high academic distinctions (CGPA 3.96/4.0 in MSc, “Very great distinction”), the “Best Project of the Year 2018” at Bahir Dar Institute of Technology, and an Electrical Installation License from the Ethiopian Petroleum and Energy Authority. Yosef’s work contributes both theoretically and practically toward more stable, reliable, and renewable-energy-enabled power systems in Ethiopia and beyond.
