    The Conference kicks off Sunday, March 15, with three-and-a-half-hour Professional Education Seminars that will provide an in-depth discussion of power electronics topics that combine practical applications with theory. A sampling of these seminars include:

    ·     Recent Breakthroughs in Controls for Power Electronics, Sudip Mazumder, U. of Illinois

    ·     3D Packaging for High Density and High Performance GaN-Based Circuits, Douglas Hopkins, North Carolina State University

    ·     Advanced Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis for Electric Motors and Drives, Seungdeog Choi, U. of Akron

    ·     Thermal Management of Power Semiconductor Devices, David Levett, Infineon Technologies

    ·     High Power & SiC Module Technology & Application Considerations, John Donion, Powerex

    ·     Power Supply on Chip Technology for High Frequency Integrated Voltage Regulation, Cian O’Mathuna, Tyndall National Institute

    On Monday March 16, the Conference’s Plenary Session will feature speakers from industry and academia covering the key power electronics architectures, components, innovations, and technologies affecting the industry and society. Speakers will include:

    ·     Hao Huang, GE Aviation, “Challenges in Electrical Systems for More Electric Aircraft.”

    ·     David Cox, Cree, “Power Architectures for the Next Generation of Solid State Lighting.”

    ·     Dhaval Dalal, ON Semiconductor, “PSMA Power Technology Roadmap.”

    ·     Kerry Cheung, Depart of Energy, “DOE Perspectives on Microgrids.”

    ·     Veena Misra, North Carolina State University, “Optimizing Performance and Reliability of GaN MOSFET Devices.”

    ·     David Pesiri, Los Alamos National Laboratory, “A New Emphasis on Industry Partnerships at Los Alamos: Finding Win-Win Outcomes that Benefit the Nation.”

    The show’s technical sessions, from March 17 through 19, will cover a very broad range of subjects covering power system semiconductors, components, systems, and applications. With the ongoing interest in applying power advances to advanced energy systems, some of the more interesting technical sessions will cover:
