About the research

How can high-density, high-efficiency power converters enable renewable energy and electrified transport applications while remaining experimentally demonstrable?

Read the full research overview

The group designs and prototypes power electronics systems for photovoltaics, grid storage, electric vehicles, and data center power delivery. Researchers combine hardware prototype demonstrations with system-level integration to validate converter topology, thermal and efficiency tradeoffs, and control strategies. Projects include energy-harvesting and electric aircraft power systems using experimental demonstrations to prove feasibility. Work emphasizes experimental validation through building hardware to address technical challenges in energy conversion and integration.
