Dr. Vibhu Jately

Dr. Vibhu Jately (Senior Member, IEEE) received his Ph.D. degree from G. B. Pant University, Pantnagar, India. Following that, he worked as an Assistant Professor under United Nations Development Program within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wollo University, Ethiopia. After that he worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow for two years at MCAST Energy Research Group, Malta where he was a Task Leader of European H2020 projects. He has over 8 years of teaching and research experience. His area of interest includes power electronics applications in renewable energy systems, control strategies in grid integration of PVs, AI base techniques in microgrids and optimization algorithms in PV applications. He is an active researcher and has published various research articles in IEEE journals and conferences.

Dr. Jately is working as an Assistant Professor (Selection Grade) at UPES since October 2021. Before joining UPES, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at MCAST Energy Research Group for two years. Prior to that, he worked as an Assistant Professor under United Nations Development Programme in Ethiopia from October 2017 till June 2019.

Dr. Jately’s area of interest includes power electronics applications in renewable energy systems and developed various control strategies for grid integration of distributed energy resources, the use of AI techniques for microgrid planning, and swarm techniques in PV applications.

Thus far in his academic journey, Dr. Jately has observed that good teachers have been good researchers too. He realized that the best way to develop an insight into a subject is by delivering lectures on it. He encourages students to be inquisitive. To maintain their interest, Dr. Jately keeps on relating the topic of the lecture to the happenings in the real world. He believes that introducing key concepts by intuition and physical reasoning rather than by mathematical rigours is the proper way to teach in an undergraduate class.
