Brief introduction

  Yanpu Zhao obtained a B.S. degree in 2006 from Hebei University of Technology and M.S. degree in 2009 from Nankai University. In 2010 he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) as a research assistant. He began pursuing his Ph.D. at PolyU in July 2012 and obtained the Ph.D. degree in 2015. Then he worked as a post-doctor in the ECE Department of Purdue University for 15 months. From March to April 2016, he was a Research Fellow at PolyU. From May 2016, he joined ANSYS Inc. (Headquarter) as a Senior Research and Development Engineer, developing ANSYS Maxwell 3D field simulation products. Since July 2019, he has been a full professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Automation of Wuhan University.

He is a member of IEEE. His research interests are computational electromagnetics, electric field analysis of high voltage apparatus, multiphysics simulation, high order and flexible finite element methods, low-frequency stable full-wave Maxwell solvers, field-circuit-motion coupling techniques, parameter extraction methods, optimal design and fast mesh morphing methods, inverse design of integrated chips. He has published 30 journal papers and more than 40 international conference papers.
