Bio
Shuntaro Inoue (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.S. degree in engineering (robotics) from Osaka University, Suita, Japan, in 2011, the M.S. degree in engineering (sensor and actuator) from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 2013, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA, in 2023. From 2013 to 2025, he was with Toyota Central R&D Labs., Inc., Nagakute, Japan, where he developed high-power-density DC-DC and AC-DC converters and initiated research on dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) systems. In 2025, he joined Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN, USA, as a Research Staff member, focusing on advanced power electronics and wireless power transfer for transportation electrification and grid integration.
He has published more than 15 peer-reviewed papers, holds over ten U.S. patents, and his work has been cited more than 200 times. His research interests include high-power-density converters, wireless power transfer, and the application of neural networks to power electronics design and optimization.
Dr. Inoue has received several awards, including the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers Kansai-Branch Best Presentation Award (2011), the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ) Best Presentation Award (2016), the IEEJ Encouraging Prize Award (2017), the IEEE APEC Outstanding Presentation Award (2019), the IEEJ Distinguished Paper Award (2020), and the IEEJ Technical Development Award (2021).
