We are honored to welcome Dr. Hamid A. Toliyat as a Technical Advisor to Infinity Flow. A global authority in electric machines, motor drives, and power electronics, Dr. Toliyat brings decades of groundbreaking research, innovation, and leadership that align perfectly with our mission to revolutionize modern electrification systems.
Dr. Toliyat currently holds the position of Robert Kennedy ’26 Endowed Chair Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University. He is also a Life Fellow of the IEEE, an honor reserved for individuals with extraordinary accomplishments in electrical and electronic engineering. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Toliyat has published more than 550 technical papers and holds 22 U.S. patents and patent applications. His research spans critical areas such as:
- Power-dense electronics
- Multiphase and fault-tolerant motor drives
- Advanced motor control and sensorless techniques
- Energy-efficient and reliable electric drive systems
- Electromechanical energy conversion for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications
Among his many accolades are the prestigious IEEE Nikola Tesla Field Award, the Cyril Veinott Electromechanical Energy Conversion Award, and the TEES Research Impact Award. His leadership has helped secure multi-million-dollar projects from agencies like the Department of Energy (ARPA-E), where his work on high-efficiency electric powertrains for aviation has gained national attention.
At Infinity Flow, Dr. Toliyat plays a pivotal role by providing strategic technical guidance, reviewing and shaping our power electronics architecture, and supporting our government research proposals, including SBIR/STTR and other federally funded programs. His mentorship strengthens our core team and ensures our innovations meet the highest technical standards and align with industry and regulatory demands.
We are deeply grateful to have Dr. Toliyat on board as we develop next-generation solid-state transformers, modular motor drive systems, and electrified solutions for the future of clean power and propulsion.
