Coventry, United Kingdom

Worked across two projects: Secured my first Principal Investigator Funding - £80k from the Advanced Propulsion Centre 'Preparing for the Grand Challenge' call.'Gallium Oxide – The Route to Low-Cost Power Converters for Automotive Application'A feasibility study to investigate the use of this new material as a wide band-gap semiconductor for cheap, reliable and efficient solid state converters for future Electric Vehicle technology.Also working as a researcher on 'High Current Module and Technologies Optimised for HVDC: Funded' by EPSRC in collaboration with Cambridge University, University of Strathclyde, Allstom Grid and Dynex Semiconductor Ltd. Project entails investigating the role that advanced power semiconductor module design can play in improving the efficiency and increasing the capacity of Voltage Source, HVDC converters.

Coventry, United Kingdom

Silicon Carbide for Energy Resilience (SiCER): Funded by Innovate UK in collaboration with Dynex Semiconductor Ltd., Eltek Semiconductors Ltd. and Alstom Grid UK, Project entails the delivery of a 10 kV SiC power MOSFET for smart grid application in voltage source converters (VSCs). Project runs: 01/04/2014 - 01/04/2017
