Malik E. Elbuluk (S'79–SM'97) received the B.Sc. degree (with honors) in electrical engineering from the University of Khartoum, Khartoum, Sudan, in 1976 and the M.S., E.E., and D.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA, in 1980, 1981, and 1986, respectively.
He is a Professor with The University of Akron, Akron, OH, USA, where he has been since 1989. He was with the faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Electric Power Research Center, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA, from 1986 to 1989. He was a Summer Research Fellow at the NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, OH, USA, from 1991 to 2010. His work at NASA included alternative energy systems, low-temperature electronics for space missions, modeling and simulation of the Space Station Freedom, power by wire, power electronic building blocks, starter/generator for aircraft engines, and sensorless control of electromechanical actuators for the more electric aircraft. His teaching and research interests include the areas of power electronics, electric machines, control systems, fuzzy logic, and neural networks.
Prof. Elbuluk actively publishes and reviews papers for the IEEE Conferences and Transactions and has organized and chaired a number of sessions for the IEEE Power Electronics, IEEE Industry Applications, and IEEE Industrial Electronics Societies. He was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics and was the Manufacturing Systems Development and Applications Department Vice-Chair for the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications and also the Vice-Chair and Technical Program Chair for the Industry Automation and Control Committee. He is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Ohio.
