Full Profile
Jiaming An began his academic journey in 2014 at the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), China, where he majored in electrical engineering. He completed both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at HIT, graduating in 2018 and 2020, respectively. During this time, he developed a strong interest in power electronics and control systems, with a particular focus on the design and control of high-performance inverters.
Following graduation, Jiaming joined Inovance Technology—one of China’s leading companies in industrial automation and electric drives. As a motor control software engineer, he worked on developing and optimizing motor control algorithms for both industrial and automotive applications. His responsibilities included implementing algorithms on embedded platforms, conducting real-time debugging, and fine-tuning performance. This hands-on experience sharpened his engineering judgment and deepened his understanding of system-level reliability challenges in power electronic systems.
In 2023, Jiaming began his Ph.D. studies in electrical and computer engineering at the McMaster Automotive Resource Centre (MARC), under the supervision of Dr. Ali Emadi. His current research focuses on enhancing inverter system reliability and advancing the design and control of power converters for electrified transportation. Much of his work supports the development of electrification in aerospace platforms, where reliability and performace are critical.
Outside his academic work, Jiaming maintains a strong interest in engineering innovation and enjoys exploring new technologies in power electronics and embedded systems.
