       Dr. Bose held the Condra Chair of Excellence (Endowed Chair Professor) in Power Electronics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, since 1987, where he was responsible for teaching and the research program in power electronics and motor drives. Concurrently, he was the Distinguished Scientist (1989-2000) and the Chief Scientist (1987-1989) of EPRI-Power Electronics Applications Center, Knoxville, TN. Prior to this, he was a Research Engineer in the General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center (now GE Global Research Center), Schenectady, NY, for 11 years (1976-1987), an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY for five years (1971-1976), and a faculty member at IIEST (formerly Bengal Engineering and Science University (BESU)) for 11 years (1960-1971). He is specialized in power electronics and motor drives area, and has given extensive contributions in power converters, PWM techniques, electric/hybrid vehicle drives, microprocessor/DSP control, system simulation, renewable energy systems, and application of artificial intelligence techniques (expert system, fuzzy logic and neural network) in power electronic systems. He served as a visiting professor in Aalborg University, Denmark; Padova University, Italy; Federal University of Mato Grosso Sul, Brazil; Sevilla University, Spain; and European Ph.D. School, Italy. He has been power electronics consultant in a large number of industries. Dr. Bose has authored more than 200 papers and holds 21 U.S. patents. He has authored/edited seven books in power electronics: Power Electronics and Motor Drives - Advances and Trends (Elsevier/Academic Press, 2006), Modern Power Electronics and AC Drives (Prentice-Hall, 2001), Power Electronics and AC Drives (Prentice-Hall, 1986), Power Electronics and Variable Frequency Drives (Wiley/IEEE Press, 1997), Modern Power Electronics (IEEE Press, 1992), Microcomputer Control of Power Electronics and Drives (IEEE Press, 1987), and iAdjustable Speed AC Drive Systems (IEEE Press, 1981). He has given invited seminars, tutorials and keynote addresses extensively throughout the world, particularly in IEEE sponsored programs and conferences. “Bimal Bose Award in Power Electronics” was established by the Institute of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE), India to recognize his contribution in the field. The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society bestowed a unique honor on him by publishing a Special Issue of the Magazine (June 2009) “Honoring Dr. Bimal Bose and Celebrating His Contributions in Power Electronics”.

       Dr. Bose has served the IEEE* in various capacities, including Chairman of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) Power Electronics Council, Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, IEEE IECON Power Electronics Chairman, Chairman of the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS) Industrial Power Converter Committee, IAS Member of the Neural Network Council, Vice-Chair of the IEEE Medals Council, Vice-Chair of the IAS Distinguished Lecture Program, Member of IEEE-USA Energy Policy Committee, Member of the IEEE Fellow Committee, Member of IEEE Lamme Medal Committee, Member of the IEEE Medal in Power Engineering Committee, Member of the Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the IEEE, and Member of IEEE Spectrum Advisory Board. He was the Guest Editor of the Proceedings of the IEEE (Special Issue of Power Electronics and Motion Control, August 1994), and Special Section Editor of IEEE Transactions of Industrial Electronics (Neural Network Applications in Power Electronics and Motor Drives, February 2006). Dr. Bose has B.E. degree in 1956 from IIEST, India, M.S. degree in 1960 from University of Wisconsin, Madison,, and Ph.D. degree in 1966 from Calcutta University.
