Vishnu Mahadeva Iyer, a research assistant at the FREEDM Systems Center at NC State, won the Outstanding Presenter award at the IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC) held in Tampa, FL in March 2017. The topic of his presentation is […]

The Annual FREEDM Industry Conference will be held again at the Hunt Library on the Centennial Campus of NC State on January 24 and 25. Day 1 is for our Industry Members only, but Day 2 is open to the […]

FREEDM is offering a series of six seminars to inform our students about the overall mission and research at the Center. These will be offered every Wednesday from noon to 1 pm eastern US time. Recordings of each seminar will […]

Inside the Green Energy Hub at the FREEDM Systems Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, researchers ran into a problem while testing a prototype of an innovative battery charger that could charge electric vehicles more quickly. A resistor load bank that […]

The most tense moment flying a solar powered plane is right at dawn. That’s when the batteries are at their lowest energy and you hope the meteorologists’ models are correct that you aren’t flying into a cloudy morning. Since the […]

Every year, the National Science Foundation awards three year fellowships to graduate students in the United States. This year, the NSF received 17,000 applications and awarded 2,000 fellowships. One of those awards went to Kristen Garcia, a PhD candidate in […]

I’m a 2015 B.S.E. graduate of Murray State University located in Murray, KY and currently finishing my second year as a PhD student in power electronics. My research work is a modular design of Solid State Transformers (SSTs).

I completed my Bachelors degree from the College of Engineering, Trivandrum in 2011 and Masters degree from the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru in 2013 respectively. I worked with GE Global Research Center as a power electronics engineer from 2013-2015 […]

My research work is primarily focussed on high voltage 4H-SiC power devices (JFETs, MOSFETs and IGBTs) for medium voltage (>6kV) applications. Highlights: Design, fabrication and device modeling of 4H-SiC n-IGBTs (>15kV) Electrical switching and conduction characterization of high voltage 4H-SiC […]

Suyash's interests are automotive power converters and systems. He is currently working on applications of SiC and GaN devices in DC-DC converter systems. He is particularly interested in the modeling and control strategies, stability analyses and modular paralleled DC-DC converters.
