2020 IEEE PELS Prize PhD Thesis Talk (P3 Talk), IEEE Power Electronics Society, July 2020.

Every year, the IEEE Power Electronics Society (IEEE PELS TC2) hosts a worldwide 3-minute presentation competition among those who have been granted a PhD degree in power electronics during the past two years.
My 3-minute PhD thesis talk is recognized as one of the 5 best presentations of the year and won the 2020 IEEE PELS Prize PhD Thesis Talk (P3 Talk).
Thanks to PELS for managing the competition and those experts who took the time to evaluate the talks.
The completion required the production of a high-quality 3-minute video, picturing problems, solutions, and outcomes.
During my PhD program, I proposed the theory of the homopolarity cycle for resonant converters and used it in the development of an advanced three-layer control strategy improving the large and small-signal closed-loop responses and efficiency. This work has applications in electric vehicles, renewable power conversion, LED drivers, and in general where the DC/DC power conversion is in need.​
