Biography
[edit]After receiving his PhD, Haran began working at General Electric (GE) Research in Niskayuna, New York. At GE, he led the research group working on advanced electrical machines for the entire organization's industrial businesses. In this role, he was responsible for a broad set of technology development activities, including projects on novel machines for aviation, renewable energy, defense, appliances, EV’s, locomotives, and mining equipment. After 13 years at GE, Haran and his family moved to Champaign, Illinois to continue his research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. At the University of Illinois, Haran's research is concentrated on high-specific power cryogenic and non-cryogenic machines for electrified transportation and renewable energy applications.[7]
Research
[edit]Haran's research areas include electric transportation, electrical machines and drive systems, and power and energy systems.[8] His broader research topics are electric transportation, energy, solar and renewable technology, and storage and conversion.[9]
