I am Dr. Buddhadeva Sahoo, currently serving as an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, School of Engineering, SR University, Warangal, Telangana, India. I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Siksha 'O' Anusandhan (Deemed to be University), Odisha, awarded in 2021, and an M.Tech. in Power Electronics and Drives from Biju Patnaik University of Technology, Odisha, completed in 2016. I also completed the prestigious SERB National Post-Doctoral Fellowship (NPDF) at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar during 2022–2024, where I conducted advanced research on coordinated control-based multilevel resonant inverter design for hybrid microgrid and electric vehicle applications under a funded project worth ₹25.31 lakh.

My research interests primarily focus on Power Electronics, Advanced Power Electronic Converters, AC/DC and Hybrid Microgrids, Electric Vehicle Charging Technologies, Solid-State Transformers, Renewable Energy Integration, Smart Grids, Power Quality Enhancement, and Intelligent Energy Management Systems. My research aims to develop efficient, reliable, and sustainable energy conversion systems by integrating advanced control methodologies, innovative converter topologies, and intelligent energy management techniques. I am particularly interested in robust and adaptive control strategies, virtual synchronous generators, seamless microgrid operation, grid-connected and islanded power systems, and advanced power electronic interfaces for renewable energy and electric mobility applications.

I am also actively exploring emerging research directions involving Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Digital Twin Technologies, Intelligent Optimization Algorithms, and Predictive Control Techniques for improving the performance, stability, and operational reliability of modern electrical energy systems.

My research contributions have resulted in numerous publications in reputed international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, Applied Energy, Journal of Energy Storage, Scientific Reports, International Journal of Electrical Power and Energy Systems, and Electric Power Systems Research. In addition to journal publications, I have contributed to international conferences, scholarly book chapters, and intellectual property development. My research portfolio includes nine published Indian patent applications covering electric vehicle charging infrastructure, solid-state transformers, renewable energy converters, intelligent energy management, and digital twin-based technologies.

In recognition of my research contributions, I have received several prestigious awards and fellowships, including the SERB National Post-Doctoral Fellowship, CSIR Senior Research Fellowship, BPUT Research Award, multiple IEEE Best Paper Awards, Springer Best Paper Award, and recognitions from The Institution of Engineers (India).

My teaching interests include Power Electronics, Electrical Machines, Control Systems, Renewable Energy Systems, Electric and Hybrid Vehicles, Smart Grids, Power System Analysis, and Microgrid Technologies. I strongly believe in integrating theoretical concepts with practical applications through MATLAB/Simulink-based modelling, simulation studies, laboratory experiments, and research-oriented project development. I am currently supervising six Ph.D. research scholars and have guided five M.Tech. and thirty B.Tech. projects, encouraging students to develop innovative solutions to real-world engineering challenges.

Beyond teaching and research, I am actively involved in academic administration, curriculum development, laboratory infrastructure improvement, research mentoring, and departmental development. As Head of the Department, I strive to strengthen the academic and research ecosystem by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, research publications, innovation, and industry–academia engagement.

My long-term vision is to contribute to the advancement of next-generation power electronic systems, intelligent smart grids, sustainable renewable energy technologies, and advanced electric mobility solutions, while inspiring students and young researchers to pursue excellence in electrical engineering research and innovation.
