High Voltage and Power Electronics Laboratory

The High Voltage and Power Electronics Laboratory (HVPE) at OSU was established in 2007 by Prof. Jin Wang. It currently consists of a 3600 sq. ft. main high voltage facility and two satellite power electronics laboratories. The high voltage lab is the only one of its kind among the universities in the Midwest. Its operations are strongly supported and heavily utilized by aviation and electric power related industries. The power electronics facilities are unique to the universities in State of Ohio and belong to only handful of power electronics labs in the United States that deal with high power applications.

The research in power electronics area is aimed at integrating renewable energy and electrification of transportation. The combined research of high voltage and power electronics is geared towards large scale megawatt implementations of renewable energy sources and energy storage devices.

Since 2010, students at HVPE have won 22 IEEE Awards, including

1 First Prize Paper Award from the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2021
2 First Place Awards at the ECCE Student Project Demonstration, 2015, 2017

Rob was born in Oak Harbor, Ohio in August 1975. He attended Oak Harbor High School and graduated in 1993. Upon graduation he entered the Marine Corps and reported for recruit training in August 1993. After completing a year of training in avionics, he reported to his first duty station, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point as an intermediate level repair technician for AV-8B Harrier avionics. Rob worked as an intermediate level technician at multiple duty stations and on multiple platforms until 2004. During that time, he completed three deployments to the Mediterranean, and a deployment to Japan.
In December 2004 Rob completed Marine Security Guard training and in January 2005 he reported to American Embassy, Budapest, Hungary to serve as the Detachment Commander. In July 2006 he was relocated to serve as the Detachment Commander at American Embassy Rabat, Morocco. At both locations he was responsible for internal security of the embassy.

Jeremiah is currently designing a variety of electrical hardware for the Zero Boil-Off Tank Experiment (ZBOT) that is scheduled to fly on the International Space Station in early 2012. These designs include ultra-precise temperature and pressure data acquisition circuits, custom heater and solonoid drivers, PID controllers, and fluid heat exchanging systems using peltier devices. This experiment is of utmost importance to NASA because the data gathered in micro gravity will be used to design long-term cryogenic fluid storge solutions for space travel. This effort will allow us to realize long term human missions to mars and beyond in the near future.

He has also performed design and prototype work for NASA's new fleet of crew and cargo rockets, under the Costellation program. The new rockets, which will replace the aging space shuttle, are called Ares and Orion. Ares I, which carries the new crew exploration vehicle, is scheduled to fly in 2014. A return to the moon is scheduled for 2020 using the same spacecraft. He successfully designed and built a power electronics prototype for the Ares I upperstage main propulsion system. The details of this work are confidential, but he can say that there is no other work more rewarding than what I get to do everyday! In his words, "I owe my accomplishments to hard work, dedication, and my education and excellent mentors at The Ohio State University."
