 ## Ongoing Research
 
 ### Modular and Multilevel Converters
-One of the
+Cascaded H-Bridge (CHB) multilevel inverters are popular because of
+their inherent modularity, scalability, and efficient voltage
+translation capability. Carrier-based modulation schemes such as
+Level-Shifted PWM (LSPWM) are simple and easy to implement but result in
+extreme disparity in processed power among the modules. This unequal
+loading and non-uniform semiconductor loss results in unequal thermal
+stress, accelerating premature failures in over-stressed modules.
+Space-vector and switching angle adjustment schemes can remedy this but
+can be computationally impractical for higher-order CHBs.
+
+Our work has led to the development of new, computationally efficient
+carrier-reassignment schemes for 9-level and 17-level 
+CHB inverters to achieve near-perfect real and reactive power balance across
+modules over the entire power factor range. Further, semiconductor loss analysis
+shows that conduction and switching losses are also equalized
+across the topology. A simple combinational circuit is also developed to balance the zero-state conduction losses without introducing additional switching. 
+
+A 9-level CHB Power stage is developed for hardware testing and detailed loss models are
+made in Real-time simulation using the state-of-the-art OpalRT HIL Platform.

-### Research
-
-My work aims to enable equitable, sustainable and economical use of clean energy. My current focus areas include power electronic converter topologies and controls, grid-integration of renewables, and converters for electric vehicles.
-
-I am currently working on control schemes for modular converter topologies, soft-switched converters and power converters for EV chargers. The work is hardware-focused: we develop new topologies and control schemes, built converter prototypes, and implement the controllers using
-microcontrollers, DSPs and FPGAs. We also have a high-end Power Hardware-in-Loop platform which we
-use for our work on Grid-tied inverters.
-
-This work is supported by generous grants from DST and ANRF (erstwhile SERB), along with substantial support from several industry partners.
