Huseyin Hiziroglu

Professor of Electrical Engineering

A Life Senior Member of IEEE, Dr. Hiziroglu joined the former General Motors Institute in 1982 as an Assistant Professor and became Professor of Electrical Engineering in 1991. His expertise is in dielectric materials, electromagnetic fields, high-voltage systems, electric machines, and energy systems. For almost 45 years at Kettering, he has enjoyed teaching a variety of courses to forward-looking Kettering students, including electromagnetic field theory, power systems, electric machines, power electronics, high voltage generation & measurement techniques, circuit theory, and microelectronics.

His scholarly activities have been funded by industrial companies such as General Motors and 100K Ideas, as well as government agencies such as the National Science Foundation. The high-voltage laboratory he developed at Kettering for instruction and research is unique at a university in southern Michigan, and professors bring their students from Michigan State University and Western Michigan University for lectures and demonstrations. 

He has published over 80 articles in reputable journals, including IEEE Transactions, Journal of Electrostatics, Journal of Physics of Plasmas, Journal of Polymers, and international IEEE Conference Proceedings.

Professor Hiziroglu is a co-author of the book “Electric Machinery and Transformers”, 3rd edition, 2001, by Oxford University Press, and of the book “Electromagnetic Field Theory Fundamentals”, 2nd edition, 2004, by Cambridge University Press. These books are translated into Spanish, Korean, and Chinese by Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press.
