Min-Fu Hsieh received his B.Eng. degree in mechanical engineering from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, in 1991, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Liverpool, Liverpool, U.K., in 1996 and 2000, respectively. From 2000 to 2003, he worked as a researcher at the Electric Motor Technology Research Center, NCKU. In 2003, he joined the Department of Systems and Naval Mechatronic Engineering at NCKU as an Assistant Professor, and in 2012, he was promoted to Full Professor. In 2017, he transitioned to the Department of Electrical Engineering at NCKU, where he has served as a Distinguished Professor since 2022. He is currently serving as an Associate Vice President for Research and Development at NCKU. His research interests include electric machine design, drives and control, power electronics, EV powertrain, mechatronics, and renewable energies.

The Electrical Machine and Drive System Laboratory at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) is a prominent research facility within the College of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science. Under the leadership of Professor Min-Fu Hsieh, the lab focuses on advanced research in motor design, motor drives/control, wide bandgap power devices and their applications such as electric vehicles or industrial drives. Its main objectives include creating motors optimized for specific applications and developing control strategies that enhance energy efficiency.

The lab is dedicated to bridging the gap between academia and industry by collaborating on cutting-edge projects. These include partnerships with organizations such as the National Space Organization (NSPO), Delta Electronics, and the National Chung-Shan Institute of Science and Technology (NCSIST). The lab also contributes to the fields of electric vehicles and space satellite technologies.

In addition to these industry collaborations, the lab emphasizes training in high-power and high-frequency motor drives, making it a hub for innovation in the electrical machine and drive system domain.
