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. I am also working on the development of a wide-bandgap converter for grid-connected applications. Simultaneously I am also working on development of open source software tools and firmware for power electronic applications (specifically gEDA/gaf, pcb-rnd, ngspice and associated packages). +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. ### Training and Consultancy -I work with industry partners on a wide variety of collaborative efforts.
