受电机系徐伟教授邀请，波兰University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz (TLSB University) Jacek F. Gieras 教授和南非University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) David G. Dorrell教授来访华中科技大学，并分别做客“携手电气精英，与未来同行”系列讲座第360期和第363期。Gieras教授于2019年11月25日上午在电气大楼A220会议室为师生做了《应用于超高速地面交通系统的直线电机》讲座；Dorrell教授分别于11月27日和28日上午在电气大楼A220会议室为师生做了《具有工程实用化的先进能源系统》和《现代储能系统》2次讲座。

Gieras教授的学术报告由电机系徐伟教授主持。首先，徐教授简要介绍了Gieras教授的情况。随后，Gieras教授以《应用于超高速地面交通系统的直线电机》为题展开报告讲述。Gieras教授在本次研讨会上讨论了未来超高速地面交通的前景，特别是在低真空管道条件下磁浮列车以1000公里/小时或更快速度运行时直线电机的设计与优化。报告结束后，多位师生就讲座主题相关内容与Gieras教授进行深入探讨，大家获益匪浅。

Dorrell教授的2次学术报告分别由电气学院文劲宇院长和电机系徐伟教授主持。报告前，文院长进行了对Dorrell教授的华中科技大学客座教授称号授予仪式。Dorrell教授的《具有工程实用化的先进能源系统》讲座着眼于现代能源系统和能源存储的各个方面，将解决包括高压直流输电在内的电力系统不同方面的问题，同时对电力系统和能源转换项目的实例进行了介绍。Dorrell教授的另一个《现代储能系统》讲座对当前和潜在的储能系统进行了总体介绍，包括间歇性可再生发电的现代电力系统中的关键问题。报告结束后，多位师生就讲座主题相关内容与Dorrell教授进行深入探讨，大家获益匪浅。
