WELCOME MAHIMA GUPTA Mahima Gupta will be joining the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) as an Assistant Professor this month. She received her Ph.D. and M.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison), Madison, WI, in 2019 and 2015 respectively, where she was affiliated with the Wisconsin Electric Machine and Power Electronics Consortium (WEMPEC) as a graduate student. Prior to joining UW-Madison, she was an Assistant Professor at Portland State University (PSU), Portland, OR. From 2019-2020, she was a part of the Research and Advanced Engineering group with Ford Motor Company, a WEMPEC sponsor, where she worked on next-generation electrified powertrains. Her research work is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the IEEE Foundation. Her research explores innovative approaches to meet the challenges of next-generation power electronics conversions & controls, modular multilevel power converters, motor drive systems, and electromagnetic noise due to fast switching power semiconductor devices. She is excited about re-joining WEMPEC! |
| WEMPEC Faculty Shoutout Congratulations to Jinia Roy for being named IEEE Power Electronics Society Regional Distinguished Lecturer. She will deliver at least four lectures over the course of two years on the following topics: “Active power decoupling for power electronic converters”, “Solid state pulsed power converter”, “Non-isolated High Gain DC-DC Boost Converter” and “WBG-based Transformer-less PV Inverter”. |
