About

Chen-Wen Pan is a leading researcher in advanced electric motor design and drive systems, with a focus on high-torque-density brushless DC motors for emerging robotic and autonomous applications. His work has been instrumental in characterizing and optimizing exterior-rotor type brushless DC motors (ER-BLDC), which are critical for powering drones, humanoid robots, and wearable technologies. Pan’s most cited paper, “Empirical Characterization of a High-performance Exterior-rotor Type Brushless DC Motor and Drive” (2019, 46 citations), provides foundational insights into the performance and control of these compact, high-torque motors, enabling their broader adoption in next-generation autonomous systems. By bridging empirical testing with practical drive design, Pan has helped advance the efficiency and reliability of motor systems that are essential for lightweight, high-mobility applications. His contributions are particularly notable for addressing the unique challenges of exterior-rotor geometries, which offer superior torque density but require specialized characterization methods. With a growing citation impact, Pan’s work continues to influence both academic research and industrial development in electric propulsion and actuation for robotics and aerospace.
