Hassan Kojori - Aerospace & Electronic Systems Society Chapter Chair
Dr. Kojori has over 28 years experience in the fields of motor drives, power conversion, power distribution, and advanced controls. Currently as a Senior Principal Engineer with Honeywell, he is the Conversion Portfolio Leader for Aero advanced technologies responsible for research, development and technology demonstration of advanced Electric Power Systems for More Electric Aircraft and Tactical Vehicles. Hassan joined Honeywell in 1997. Prior to that, he was with Inverpower Controls Ltd. in Burlington, Ontario for three years and before that with the University of Toronto's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
His effort is currently focused on investigation and development of advanced power electronics technologies for use in energy optimized next generation electric power generation, distribution, conversion and load management systems suitable for emerging transportation (air, land space, and sea), smart-grid, telecommunication and other industrial applications. Main motivation is to replace traditional hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical and passive electric subsystems by integrated more/all electric subsystems in order to reduce overall weight, volume and cost, and at the same time improve energy/fuel efficiency and reliability and safety of the overall system.
Dr. Kojori's original work on these and other technology firsts has resulted in more than 40 patent disclosures (14 awarded and remaining pending) and more than 50 papers and proprietary industry reports focused on major engineering designs and their successful commercialization for more/all electric vehicles, steel, utility and telecommunication industries. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a registered professional engineer in the province of Ontario, Canada and an Adjunct professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto and Ryerson University. He is actively engaged in collaborative research with local and international universities in the general area of energy systems and systems control and teaching and supervising graduate students.
