PhD Positions

The most relevant tasks to be carried out are:

• Selection of the most suitable converter topologies.
• Proposal of control strategies, topologies, and novel devices that can improve the performance of currently used converters for the same application.
• Design and validation of the converter power and control stages.
• Design and construction of the Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) that comprise the power (generally power-scaled) and control stages of the converter.
• Sourcing, selection, and procurement of the necessary components and commissioning of the converter itself.

The development of these tasks involves the handling of computer tools for electronic simulation (PSIM, LTSpice, Mtalab-Simulink, etc.), mathematical analysis (MATLAB), digital control (FPGAs, DSPs and microcontrollers) and PCB construction (Altium, KiCAD, etc.).
