Dr Teng Long has been appointed Lecturer at the University of Cambridge in 2016. He established the Applied Power Electronics Laboratory (The Long Group) in the Department of Engineering and he is currently leading a research team comprised of four Postdoctoral Research Associates and six PhD students. His research portfolio covers from power electronic device characterisation to power converters to drive and power systems, mainly for transport electrification and renewable energy applications. Since his current Lectureship, Dr Long has been awarded more than £1.2 million research grants as the Principal Investigating, including the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) New Investigator Award on wireless EV charging and the Innovate UK Faraday Challenge Award on the on-board charger for EVs. Dr Long has built strong connections with industrial partners including the Shanghai Automotive Industrial Cooperation (SAIC Motor), Dynex Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, CRRC and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC) and Huawei Technologies. Nearly half of Dr Long’s current research grants are funded by industrial sponsors.
Prior to joining Cambridge, he has worked for General Electric (GE) where he has led or played an important role in many rewarding projects such as the first transformer-less all electric oil-platform supply vessel, the first large scale all electric warship (Type 45 Destroyer), the first electromagnetic aircraft catapult demonstrator, and the first large scale diesel/electric hybrid vessel (Tide-class tanker).
To date, Dr Long has more than 40 academic papers published at international journals and he is the inventor of four international patents. Dr Long received the B.Eng. from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, the first class B.Eng. (Hons.) from the University of Birmingham, UK in 2009, and the Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge, UK in 2013. Dr Long is a Chartered Engineer registered with Engineering Council in the UK.
