报告内容:This talk will focus on advanced power semiconductor materials, devices and circuits that are needed in order to address this daunting challenge. Specifically, we will discuss emerging silicon and wide bandgap semiconductor materials and power devices, heterogeneous chip-scale power integration, advanced thermal management and cooling, compact high-power converters, DC power distribution, and system integration and strategic insertion of advanced power technologies into smart grid with distributed renewable energy generators (DREGs) and wireless sensor control.
报告人简介:Krishna Shenai is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Toledo, Toledo, Ohio. He earned his degrees from IIT-Madras, India (B. Tech. in Electronics in1979), University of Maryland - College Park, MD (MSEE in 1981), and Stanford University (PhD in EE in 1986). Dr. Shenai has made seminal contributions to reliability-driven development of silicon and wide bandgap semiconductor power devices and converters. He is best known for his pioneering contributions to silicon power MOSFETs, synchronous power rectifiers, chip-scale DC-DC power converters,GaAs and SiC power diodes, high-density soft-switching power technologies, power semiconductor reliability, and RF power amplifiers. His current research interests are in the development and system integration of advanced power technologies for smart grid and electric vehicle applications, low-power sensors and wireless sensor networks, and biomedical instrumentation. In these fields, he has authored or co-authored more than350 peer-reviewed papers, 10 book chapters, 12 issued US and 42 issued foreign patents, and has edited or co-edited four books. For his contributions, he was elected a Fellow of IEEE, a Fellow of AAAS, a Fellow of IETE (India), a member of the Serbian Academy of Engineering, and a member of New York Academy of Sciences. He is the recipient of numerous teaching and professional awards including the University Scholar award from the University of Illinois, USTAR Endowed Professor award from the State of Utah.
