Youssef Ajra is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Beirut Arab University (BAU), Lebanon. His work sits at the intersection of power electronics, control, and estimation, with a focus on making power conversion systems more reliable through fault detection and diagnosis, state estimation, and digital-twin methods. He teaches core courses in control systems and power engineering, supervises final-year engineering projects, in additon to the research aimed at journal publication and patentable innovations in power electronics.

Power electronics and converter reliability; fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) for power converters and electric-vehicle chargers; state estimation using Kalman-family and set-membership methods; digital twins for condition monitoring; wide-bandgap (GaN/SiC) device characterization; data-driven and neural-operator modeling; modern and state-space control systems.
