About. Skilled in Power Electronics Semiconductor Devices, 4H-SiC Device modelling, fabrication and characterization. Strong research professional with a PhD focused in Power Electronics Engineering from University of Warwick and a demonstrated history of working in the higher education industry.
The section of Power Electronic Systems carries out research in mainly three areas all closely related to the use of power electronics. The section focuses on: power electronic components; power electronic converters; power electronic systems, including drives. Power Electronic Components. This area includes both power semiconductors and passive components which together constitute the basic.
Power electronics and drives, electrical and electronic engineering, postgraduate taught course.
During it's early years, PHD Power entered the market as a distributor of power semiconductors such as thyristors, diodes and rectifiers. It was during this time that the company formed it's business relationship with world reknown semiconductor manufacturer IXYS Wescode. Gaining agency with IXYS meant providing the South African market with electronics that comply to high European standards.
The standard academic entry requirements for a Doctorate level programme (e.g. PhD) is an Upper Second UK honours degree (or international equivalent) in a relevant science or engineering discipline or a first degree with an additional pass in a UK Masters degree (or international equivalent).
Power electronics deals with highly efficient and controllable conversion of electric power. It is found in renewable energy production, electricity transmission, electric transportantion, power supplies, industrial motor drives, electric energy storage, ligthting applications, etc. The power electronics group at KTH focuses on high-power electronics for grid applications and silicon carbide.
