Chi K. Michael Tse graduated from the University of Melbourne, Australia, with BEng(Hons) and PhD degrees in electrical engineering. He has held a Chair Professorship since 2005, and is currently a Chair Professor of Electrical Engineering at City University of Hong Kong. During his 30+ years of academic career, Prof. Tse has assumed various leadership roles including head of department, director/dean, council member, council's exco member, board of trustees, associate vice-president, chairman of university-level committees and taskforces, board of directors of university subsidiaries, etc. He has been listed in the top 2% of the Stanford’s ranking list (science-wide databases of standardized citation indicators) in each of its annual updates since its inception in 2019. His research focuses include power converter design, wireless power transfer, power grid stability and robustness, and complex networked systems.

Prof. Tse was elected IEEE Fellow in 2006 and inducted to the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering in 2025. He has been awarded numerous invention, research and teaching prizes. Among them, the IEEE CASS Charles A. Desoer Technical Achievement Award 2022 recognized his "outstanding contributions and continued leadership in the development of research in complex behavior of power electronics and energy systems". He was twice recipient of the President's Award in Research while working with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He is/was honorary professor and distinguished fellow with several Australian, Canadian and Chinese universities, including Melbourne University, RMIT University, University of Western Australia, University of Calgary, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (being Chang Jiang Scholars Chair), Northeastern University, etc.

In April 2025, partnering with a local painter, he staged a duo exhibition “Blooming Calligraphy" at Salon International d'Art Contemporain, Lourve, Paris. In 2026, he co-curated "Prototyping:", an exhibition bridging technologies and society, at the Indra and Harry Banga Gallery.

Latest Research News

Negative Inductance Synthesizer: A Game Changing Device
Standalone negative reactance, a previously absent concept in the real world, has been developed and tested in our lab. While negative power inductance has been indirectly created by embedding it within a positive inductance, this new development allows for direct cancellation of real inductance in power applications. Existing complicated compensation design methods will be revolutionized by this new device.
