Naman Agarwal

DC converters: An overview

By Naman Agarwal Naman Agarwal, an MSc graduate in Sustainable Energy Technology from TU Delft, served as the founding chair of the IAS society at IEEE NITK. Graduating from NITK in 2021, Naman specializes in Power Electronics, with experience from roles at Infineon and Lightyear. At Infineon, he contributed to the industrial power control division, focusing on the development of a SiC MOSFET-based wide input voltage auxiliary power supply. Later, at Lightyear, he played a role in designing a bias power supply solution for a GaN-based multilevel inverter. 23rd Jan, 2024 at 6PM IST
