He has 2 licensed patents, transferred to MR and Evercomm respectively. He led 6 projects as a Principal Investigator, with total research funding exceeding 1000,000 EURs. He has received the Humboldt Research Fellowship, two IEEE Prize Paper Awards, one Best Presenter Award, and the IEEE JESTPE Star Reviewer Award, and is among the World's Top 2% Highly Cited Scientists ranked by Stanford University. Jia Liu is currently an Associate Professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University, China. His research interests include power electronics in power systems, microgrids and distributed generation, and auxiliary services from renewable energy generation. He has been working on grid-forming converters for the last decade. He has published 15 first-/corresponding-author papers in reputed journals, including 2 ESI highly-cited papers, and his works have been cited thousands of times. He has been the principle investigator of 3 national research projects in Japan and China, and more than 10 joint projects with Japanese and Chinese companies. He has been supported by Talent Plans of Xi’an Jiaotong University and Shaanxi Province. He is an IEEE Senior Member, and serves as the Vice Secretary of the International Exchange Committee of China Power Supply Society, Member of P2988 Working Group of IEEE Standards Association, and as a Committee Members of several IEEE TCs and Chinese Societies. Heng Wu is currently an Assistant Professor in AAU Energy at Aalborg University, Denmark. From 2015 to 2017, he was an Electrical Engineer with NR Electric Co., Ltd, Nanjing, China. He is the Chair of IEEE Task Force on Frequency-domain Modeling and Dynamic Analysis of HVDC and FACTS, the subgroup leader of the Joint Cigre working group B4/C4.93, a member of the GB grid forming best practice expert group formed by national grid ESO, UK, a member of the technical committee (TC) of European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE), a member of Cigre working group B4.85, and a Steering Committee Member of Cigre next generation network (NGN), Denmark. Dr. Wu has published around 20 IEEE Transaction papers with more than 2300 citations in total, including 3 ESI highly cited papers. He has been identified as one of the world’s top 2% of scientists by Stanford University since 2019. Junru Chen is currently an Associate Professor at Xinjiang University, China. His research interests include power electronics control, modeling, stability, and application. He has been working on grid-forming converters for the past 10 years and won the best paper award for his work on the potential impact of the virtual synchronous generator on the power system. He has published 26 papers as the first or corresponding author in reputed journals. He is supported by the Chinese Outstanding Young Talent Project and has been the principal investigator of two national research projects in China and 10 joint industrial projects, all related to the development and control of grid-forming converters. He serves as a technical committee member of the International Conference on Renewable Energies and Smart Technologies. He is currently involved in the standard IEC SC 8A and leading two standards for the application of grid-forming converters in the Xinjiang local standard. Frede Blaabjerg's current research interests include power electronics and its applications, such as in wind turbines, PV systems, reliability, Power-2-X, power quality, and adjustable speed drives. He has published more than 900 journal papers in the fields of power electronics and its applications. He is the co-author of ten monographs and editor of twenty books in power electronics and its applications eg. the series (4 volumes) Control of Power Electronic Converters and Systems published by Academic Press/Elsevier.
