Dr. Yi Tang received the B.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering from Wuhan University, China, in 2007, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Power Engineering from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2008 and 2011, respectively.

From 2011 to 2013, he worked as a Senior Application Engineer with Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific, Singapore, and subsequently as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Aalborg University, Denmark, from 2013 to 2015. Since March 2015, he has been with Nanyang Technological University, where he is a tenured Associate Professor and serves as Associate Chair, Graduate Research Studies, overseeing the graduate research programmes in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. He is also the Cluster Director of the Advanced Power Electronics Research Program at the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University.

Dr. Tang's contributions have been recognized with the Infineon Top Inventor Award in 2012, the Early Career Teaching Excellence Award in 2017, and multiple IEEE Prize Paper Awards. He served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics from 2016 to 2025 and for the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics from 2018 to 2025. He currently serves as Co-Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
