Shiqi Ji received the B.E. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering all from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2010 and 2015, respectively. Since 2015, he joined as a Research Associate with the Center for Ultra-Wide-Area Resilient Electric Energy Transmission Networks (CURENT), the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA, and became a Research Assistant Professor in 2019. From 2020, he joined as an Assistant Professor in Department of Electrical Engineering at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and became an Associate Professor in 2021. From Jul. 2013 to Nov. 2013, he was a Research Scholar at the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium (WEMPEC), the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA.

His main research interests are power electronics for high/medium voltage and high power applications. From 2010 to 2015, his focus was on Silicon-based technology, and some of them have been applied by industry companies. From 2015, he started to focus on novel high voltage SiC-based technology. As key senior personnel, he was involved in several projects (~8 million USD), e.g. SiC based PCS development for asynchronous microgrid, and SiC based CHP PCS and PV inverter supported by DOE, USA. He has led a group to build a 12.4 kVac/250 kW PV inverter prototype using 10 kV SiC MOSFETs through collaboration with Danfoss and Wolfspeed. Their project of SiC based PCS development for asynchronous microgrid was awarded as highest reviewer rating by Power America Program. From 2020, he started to work on MW-scale medium-voltage multi-port power electronic transformer. As the group leader, they have developed the prototype and demonstrated to support on-site power sources and loads. At Tsinghua University, he has led or participated in more than 5 projects, totaling more than RMB¥30M, with personal share more than ¥5M per year. He has authored more than 70 technical papers, including more than 20 peer-reviewed international journal papers. He hold 5 Chinese patents and 1 US patent.

He served in several professional institutes. He was an IEEE senior member, and also a member of Power Electronics Society and Industry Applications Society.
