After my Ph.D (EE) in Power Electronics and Electric Drives from IISc Bangalore, I did my Post-Doctoral Fellowship from State University of New York, Binghamton, USA, where I primarily worked on soft-switched AC-DC converters for forklift battery chargers. Subsequently, I joined as a Project Scientist in Department of Electrical Engineering, IISc Bangalore. Here, I worked on control of AC-DC and DC-DC converters for Electric Vehicle application.
