I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of [Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering](http://ee.iitdh.ac.in) at the [Indian Institute of Technology at Dharwad](https://iitdh.ac.in/). I am a part of the [Power and Energy group](https://sites.google.com/iitdh.ac.in/peg-iitdh) where I conduct research in power electronics, renewable energy systems and electric mobility.
|
|
Since November 2024, I am serving as the
|
|
Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Limited --
|
|
Renewable Energy Research **(KREDL-RER)** Assistant Chair Professor.

### 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.
|
|
|
|
### Teaching
|
|
|
|
I teach theory and laboratory courses at the undergraduate and postgraduate level in Power Electronics, Drives, Renewable Energy, Electric Vehicles, and Embedded Control. For more details see [here](/teaching.html)
|
|
|
|
### Training and Consultancy
|
|
|
|
I work with industry partners on a wide variety of collaborative efforts. Please email me with your specific requirements for more information. [Here](/consultancy/) are some additional details.
|
|

|
|
|
### Outreach
|
|
|
|
I work with several grassroots organisations and non-profits in Karnataka
|
|
in the field of sustainability and education. Many of these activities are
|
|
supported by generous CSR contributions from companies including
|
|
Honeywell, Enphase, Toshiba and Infineon. |
