Rate My Professor Layi Alatise

His research specializations include advanced power semiconductor materials and devices for improved energy conversion, power electronic converters and systems, and energy conversion in electrical and power systems. He has led numerous research projects funded by EPSRC, UKRI, Innovate UK, Royal Society, and industry partners, such as Transforming Net Zero with Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductor Device Technology (REWIRE, EPSRC, 2024-2029), Circular Microgrids: Circular Economy Pathways for Renewable Microgrids (UKRI, 2025-2028), A New Generation of Automotive IGBTs and Gate Drivers for Future Electric Vehicles (Royal Society Industry Fellowship, 2020-2024), and Reliability, Condition Monitoring and Health Management Technologies for WBG Power Modules (EPSRC, 2017-2021). Prof. Alatise has authored or co-authored more than 150 publications in journals and international conferences, including highly cited papers such as 'Failure and reliability analysis of a SiC power module based on stress comparison to a Si device' (2017), 'Performance and reliability review of 650 V and 900 V silicon and SiC devices: MOSFETs, cascode JFETs and IGBTs' (2019), and 'Temperature and switching rate dependence of crosstalk in Si-IGBT and SiC power modules' (2015). He received the 2021 Best Paper Award in the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics. A Chartered Engineer, Fellow of the IET, and Senior Member of the IEEE, he teaches modules including ES185 Electrical and Electronic Circuits, ES2B1 Energy Conversion and Power Systems, ES3B3 Power Systems and Electrical Machines, and ES96Z Electrical Machines and Drives. He serves as a reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, Electron Devices, and Industrial Electronics, and as Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics.
