Biography
Grant A. Covic (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.E (Hons.) and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and electronic engineering from The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand, in 1986 and 1993, respectively. He is currently a full Professor with the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Software Engineering Department The University of Auckland. He is a co-founder of “HaIoIPT,” which focused on electric vehicle (EV) wireless charging infrastructure. He has authored and co-authored more than 200 papers in IEEE journals and conferences. He holds more than 50 patent families, from which licenses in specialized application areas of inductive power transfer (IPT) have been granted around the world. His research and consulting interests include power electronics and resonant. Dr. Covic was the recipient of the New Zealand Prime Minister's Science Prize, the Vice Chancellors Commercialization Medal, and the KiwiNet Research Commercialization awards for his research, and in 2021, the IEEE Power Electronics Emerging Technology Award. HaIoIPT, before it was onsold, received the Clean Equity Monaco Award for excellence in the field of environmental engineering and two New Zealand Clean Innovation awards in the Emerging Innovator and Design and Engineering categories. He is a Fellow of both Engineering New Zealand and the Royal Society of New Zealand, was a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Transportation Electrification Community in 2016–2019, and has been a Co-Chair of the steering committee for the IEEE Wireless Power Technologies Conference and Expo since 2020. He is currently directing a government funded research program on stationary and dynamic wireless charging of EVs, while also coleading the interoperability subteam within the SAE J2954 wireless charging standard.
