I worked at Martin Ordonez Lab as an undergraduate research assistant in power electronics for renewable energies. My primary tasks were:• Test, debug and troubleshoot power converters prototypes.• Built various mechanical and electrical testing apparatuses to emulate realistic operating conditions.• Implemented an automation system composed of a LabVIEW interface for optimizing the testing of the next generation of power converters for renewable energy applications.
