Keyue Ma Smedley is the founder and director of the University of California, Irvine Power Electronics Laboratory (UCI PEL) and a professor in the UCI Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Computer Science. She is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (the highest level of distinction for an IEEE member), and has XXX many papers to her name, many of which have been cited over two-hundred times by other scientists in the field. Winner of the ___ award, basdfjasdjfk; Dr. Smedley is most noted for her development of One Cycle Control technology, which she invented at the California Institute of Technology  and refined at UCI. She is one of the most respected scientists in the field of Power Electronics.

Education
Keyue received her B.S.c in Electrical Engineering Control Systems from Zhejiang University in 1982 with [reallly high marks, distinction]. In 1985 she earned her Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (Industrial Electronics) under [insert professor's name]. In [ date], she met Slobodan Ćuk (inventor of the Ćuk converter), a professor at Caltech, who promptly granted her a scholarship to become his graduate student. With Ćuk's guidance, she finished a second master's Degree in 1987 and completed her Ph.D. thesis in 1991.

After the cancellation of the project because of pulled government funding, Dr. Smedley found a position at UC Irvine.

Research
"Dr. Smedley is interested in power electronics, alternative energy power generation, and motion control. Dr. Smedley's research involves the modeling, control, and topologies of switching converters and inverters with applications such as class-D power amplifiers, power factor corrections, active power filters, grid-connected inverters, soft-switching, and motion control. Her research involves power and signal processing with the use of energy-efficient electronics circuits. She has developed one-cycle controlled high-fidelity class-D power amplifiers, which has led to a span-off company in Orange County. She is currently developing a new generation of power factor corrected rectifiers and grid-connected inverters for alternative energy power generation. The softswitching methods evolved from her lab are widely used in industry. Her research can be applied to computer power supplies, communication equipment, wireless communications, class-D amplifiers for homes and theatres, aviation electronics, space electronics, motor drive, alternative energy converters, and space power."
