Webinar Explores GaN Applications and Design Challenges

March 8, 2023

Learn about designing with gallium-nitride devices in popular applications.

Cambridge GaN Devices (CGD) announced the second in its series of webinar tutorials targeting designers, engineers, and managers who are evaluating gallium nitride (GaN) power devices. On Tuesday March 14, at 1 PM ET, CGD’s Chief Technology Officer, Professor Florin Udrea will present a lecture titled “State-of-the-art architectures and future concepts in GaN technology for power electronics.” A Q&A session will follow.

This webinar mainly focuses on issues relating to GaN's ease-of-use and reliability in several common applications, and how they can be addressed with CGD's ICeGaN technology. Finally, Prof. Udrea will offer a brief look at what advances could be next in GaN.

Lee Goldberg | Contributing Editor

Lee Goldberg is a self-identified “Recovering Engineer,” Maker/Hacker, Green-Tech Maven, Aviator, Gadfly, and Geek Dad. He spent the first 18 years of his career helping design microprocessors, embedded systems, renewable energy applications, and the occasional interplanetary spacecraft. After trading his ‘scope and soldering iron for a keyboard and a second career as a tech journalist, he’s spent the next two decades at several print and online engineering publications.

Lee’s current focus is power electronics, especially the technologies involved with energy efficiency, energy management, and renewable energy. This dovetails with his coverage of sustainable technologies and various environmental and social issues within the engineering community that he began in 1996. Lee also covers 3D printers, open-source hardware, and other Maker/Hacker technologies.

Lee holds a BSEE in Electrical Engineering from Thomas Edison College, and participated in a colloquium on technology, society, and the environment at Goddard College’s Institute for Social Ecology. His book, “Green Electronics/Green Bottom Line - A Commonsense Guide To Environmentally Responsible Engineering and Management,” was published by Newnes Press.

Lee, his wife Catherine, and his daughter Anwyn currently reside in the outskirts of Princeton N.J., where they masquerade as a typical suburban family.
