Brief Bio of Professor Sastry Pamidi
Sastry Pamidi, Ph.D. is a professor serving as the Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the Associate Director of the Center for Advanced Power Systems where he also leads a multidisciplinary research group focusing on superconducting power devices for electric transport applications. His research interests are in high power density superconducting devices, advanced AC loss measurements, and applied cryogenics related to superconducting power applications. He has established advanced research facilities and test beds to characterize superconducting cables cooled with gaseous helium. He helped establish a high voltage engineering laboratory that specializes in the cryogenic dielectric characterization of insulation materials and designs for superconducting power applications. He has collaborated with many research groups around the world and delivered invited presentations at many international conferences. He authored and co-authored more than 200 publications in journals, conference proceedings, and three book chapters. He has active collaborations with superconducting wire manufacturers and several small businesses. He has served on the technical committees of many international conferences and as a guest technical editor for many special issues of the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity. Dr. Pamidi is a Fellow of the Cryogenic Society of America.
