Professional Summary: This Ph.D. has over 25 years of experience in the design, simulation, and realization of complex systems, power electronics, analog electronics, and high voltage systems. He has worked on 120 kW electric race cars, hybrid-electric vehicle systems, 120 kV pulsed power systems integrated with low voltage semiconductor control electronics, and numerous analog electronic systems. His simulation experience includes circuit simulation with PSpice, system simulation with MATLAB and C, and Model-Based-Design using MIL, SIL, and HIL techniques. He is the author of several textbooks on circuit simulation, MATLAB programming, computer usage, and has also authored several courses on Model-Based-Design. His academic website is referenced by students and professionals and has course materials available on analog circuit design, power electronics, and Model-Based-Design.
He studied computer systems, analog design, and high voltage pulsed-power at the University of Michigan graduate school. He went on to teach at the university level and consult at National Labs and various companies. His projects included an analog system to control the bombardment heating system of a large-cathode electron gun, a 12 V to 1000 V, 300 W portable pulse generator, an electric race car that could achieve a top speed of 120 MPH, 1.5 kW photovoltaic battery chargers, and modeling and design of hybrid-electric vehicles. Currently, he is a professor at Rose-Hulman Institute of technology where he is developing new courses on Model-Based-Design and using automatic code generation to design microcontroller systems. He has two patents on battery chargers for photovoltaic systems and has served as an expert witness in cases involving analog systems, simulation, and battery chargers. |
