  • Design for Reliability: The origin of aging and degradation in advanced power modules and emerging state of health (SOH) estimation techniques

    March 29, 2024 @ 10:15 am - 11:45 am EB2 1231

    https://ece.ncsu.edu/seminar/design-for-reliability-the-origin-of-aging-and-degradation-in-advanced-power-modules-and-emerging-state-of-health-soh-estimation-techniques/

    Not all components in a power converter circuit are equally impacted by aging, and there exist module or component level precursor and diagnostics, which are mostly electrical characterization. This presentation will reveal the origin of aging and corresponding degradation in electrical and thermal performance associated with power modules and other circuit components. In addition to...

    Speaker: Faisal Khan
    Chief Researcher, Power Electronics
    National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)

    Faisal Khan serves as the Chief Researcher for Power Electronics within the Center for Integrated Mobility Sciences at NREL. Faisal’s broad research interests include designing power converters for emerging applications such as transportation, pulsed power, and the biomedical field, as well as characterizing degradation/aging in power converters and components. He leads the power module research at NREL as well as next generation power converter designs for mobility applications.

  • From Franklin to Tesla Orchestra – an experiential lecture from 0 to 1 million volts!

    April 5, 2024 @ 10:15 am - 11:45 am EB2 1231

    https://ece.ncsu.edu/seminar/from-franklin-to-tesla-orchestra-an-experiential-lecture-from-0-to-1-million-volts/

    This talk is 100% demonstration and amazement – no slides here. Through incredible demonstrations, David Ricketts deploys high-voltage science to explain how spark generators, ion-powered motors and aircraft work. See the wonders of elusive plasma toroids and the magical Gassiot Fountain, often used as the grand finale of Victorian high-voltage science demonstrations. Of course no...

    Speaker: David Ricketts
    Professor
    NC State

    Ricketts received his Ph.D. in engineering and applied sciences from Harvard University and his BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Prior to joining academia, he spent eight years in industry developing more than 40 integrated circuits in mixed-signal, RF and power management applications. Ricketts' research crosses the fields of physics, materials science and circuit design, investigating the ultimate capabilities of microelectronic devices and how these devices are harnessed by differing circuit topologies to produce the highest performing systems.
