Biography
Ernesto Inoa has more than 15 years of experience in the area of motor drives. He was an R&D Engineer, later RD Sr Engineer, with Caterpillar, Inc., where he did research on control algorithms for the power electronics and motor controls systems of the next generation of hybrid-electric trucks and tractors. He has been with Canoo, Inc., since October of 2018. His major research interests are related to the application of advanced control theory and digital signal processing techniques to power electronics, motor drives, and energy conversion systems. Dr. Inoa has published 11 IEEE papers; serves as a reviewer for several IEEE societies; has submitted 6 patent applications; and received the Best Student Presentation Award at ECCE in 2011, and the IEEE IAS Transactions First Prize Award in 2013. Dr. Inoa received his B.S. (magna cum laude) in Electronics Eng. from PUCMM, the Dominican Republic, in 2000; and the Ph.D. from The Ohio State Univ in 2012.
