Sterling Beeson, who is currently pursuing his PhD degree at the ECE department conducting research in the Center for Pulsed Power and Power Electronics (P3E) has received the 2013 IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Science Society (NPSS) Graduate Scholarship Award for his research on transient plasmas generated by High Power Microwaves (HPM) induced along a dielectric interface as it pertains to radar systems and other directed energy applications. This award is given out annually to up to 4 graduate students worldwide that show outstanding contributions to the field of nuclear and plasma sciences. The award includes a $1,500 monetary award along with a 1 year membership to the IEEE NPSS.

| P3E working with Navy to combat IEDs |
|
Researchers
in Texas Tech's Center for Pulsed Power and Power Electronics
have been instrumental in the United States Department of Defense's
efforts to combat improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The center's
research was recently referenced in a Popular Mechanics story
on the Navy's research in defeating IEDs. |
| About the P3E Center |
|
|
|
The Center for Pulsed Power and Power Electronics (P3E) has three primary research areas: Plasma, Pulsed Power, and Power Electronics.
|
Plasma research includes a small Tokomak used for wave propagation
studies, applications of plasma technology to pulsed power devices,
plasma synthesis of thin films, high power microwave generation,
and electric space propulsion engines.
Pulsed power research concentrates on high power switching,
materials studies, and high power microwaves. The program is
heavily interdisciplinary and involves faculty members from
EE, ME, Physics and Chemistry.
Power electronics research is focused on very large power IGBT's,
Ultra High Power SCR's, advanced electrical and thermal
packaging, robust controls for plasma arcs, and high bandwidth
monitoring and control of electric machines. The program is
also involved in the development of a power electronics curriculum
at the national level in collaboration with the University of
Minnesota.| Faculty Books | |
