About
Tatiana Minav is a leading researcher in electrified actuation systems, with a primary focus on electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHAs) and advanced power electronics. Her major contributions center on integrating electric motor drives with wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor devices to achieve high-performance, decentralized actuation for applications ranging from aerospace to robotics and construction machinery. Her most cited work, a 2018 review on integrated motor drives and WBG power electronics (137 citations), demonstrates how these systems can operate at elevated temperatures (>170°C) with superior efficiency, marking a significant step toward compact, reliable electrified actuation. Minav has also advanced control strategies for autonomous mobile robots, developing self-tuning fuzzy PID controllers to manage differential drive systems with non-identical motors—a practical solution for real-world trajectory control. Her research on thermal coupling simulation of EHAs under critical conditions further underscores her commitment to robust, real-world system design. With a portfolio that bridges theoretical innovation and applied engineering, Minav’s work is shaping the next generation of high-efficiency, electrified motion systems.
