Short Bio: Akira Chiba has been Professor in the Graduate School of Science and Engineering in the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He has been studying magnetically suspended bearingless ac motors, super high-speed motor drives and rare-earth-free-motors for hybrid and pure electrical vehicles. He has so far published more than 984 papers including the first book on “Magnetic bearings and bearingless drives” in 2005. He received the IEEJ Prize Paper Awards in 1998 and 2005. He also received First Prize Paper Award from the Electrical Machine Committee in the IEEE IAS in 2011. He has been served as Secretary, Vice-Chair, Vice-Chair-Chair-Elect, Chair and Past-Chair in the Motor Sub-Committee in the IEEE PES in 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2011-2012, 2013-2014, and 2015, respectively. He was a  member, Chair and Past-Chair in IEEE Nikola Tesla Field Award Committee in 2009-2011, 2012-2013, and 2014, respectively. He served as Chair in IEEE-IAS Japan Chapter in 2010-2011. He also serves as Editor and Associate Editor in IEEE Transactions on Energy Conversion and Industry Applications, respectively. He is IEEE Fellow.
