About me
Intro
Power Electronics Engineer with 5+ years specializing in converter design and thermal modeling. Proven expertise in achieving 98% accuracy in power loss modeling at Infineon and reducing calibration time by 75% through optimized PI controllers. Expert in PCB design, MATLAB simulation, and embedded systems for automotive applications.
Work experience
Master Thesis + Internship
Infineon Technologies
Feb 2024 - Mar 2025
1 year 2 months
Linz, Austria
• Modelled conduction and switching losses in a power converter, accounting for package and PCB parasitics and temperature effects, achieving over 98% accuracy in power loss measurements compared to SPICE simulation. • Extracted PCB and package-level parasitics using Ansys Q3D; validated the model using Cadence Spectre and developed state-space models in MATLAB.
Student Internship (Power Design System (Automotive))
Texas Instruments
May 2023 - Dec 2023
8 months
85 Freising, Germany
• Designed and tested buck, boost, and SEPIC converters with analog compensators. Utilized a frequency response analyzer to evaluate their frequency response and optimize phase and gain margins. • Designed PCB layouts using Altium Designer for a CC/CV battery charger, an LLC converter output stage, and a boost converter for DPI and ground bounce testing. • Automated an efficiency measurement system in Python integrating PSUs, electronic loads, and a relay control board. Developed a GUI to control the setup and plot efficiency curves for tested hardware.
