Research Experience
Hemanshu's current research interests are in the areas of:
- Modelling, dynamics, and control of renewable energy integration for smart grids
- Control of mechanical systems - atomic force microscope and small UAVs
He has secured close to three million dollars in external research funding. His research is funded by ARC Discovery and Linkage grants.
His fundamental contributions in the power systems area are: battery and renewable resource integration, vehicle-to-grid for power quality support, analysis of power systems transient stability, robust feedback linearising control of synchronous machines and renewable resources, robust control for low-voltage-ride-through for wind generators, high-performance PV system control for real and reactive power support, and non-interacting controller design for distribution systems.
His contributions in the control of mechanical systems are spatial control, resonant control, and robust control that have been applied to high-speed AFM image scanning.
Hemanshu has published over 130 refereed journal papers in high-impact journals, one book, fifteen book chapters, and over 270 international conference papers - Google Scholar page.
He has supervised over 35 PhD students and fifteen Master's students to completion.
