MULTIPHIX

Explore the field of WBG devices and dig into device characterization, modelling and simulation for power electronic devices and systems.

  • Calorimetric setups for loss estimations in power converters especially in the context of switching losses (soft/hard switching characterization).
  • Application of machine learning techniques for predicting losses in power converters based on calorimetric data.
  • Novel methods to decouple losses of the power converter and on-state voltage measurements in the context of wide-band gap devices.
  • Temperature calibrated power semiconductor simulation models and model validation.
  • Accurate characterization and influence of 'asymmetry' on the losses of paralleled switching devices.
  • Improve power electronic cooling by investigating new materials and methods and evaluate in the lab.
  • Tackle the challenges around gate driver requirements for wide-band gap devices. Integration with the gate driver boards with test boards.
  • Implement sensors and feedback mechanisms in gate drivers, and design algorithms for real-time monitoring and adaptive control based on the operating conditions.
