SUMMARY:Technical Webinar – Dr. Arash Salemi
DESCRIPTION:Where: Online via Zoom \nWhen: Wednesday\, November 5\, from Noon to 1 p.m. (EDT) \nTopic: 3300 V & 2300 V SiC Trench-Assisted Planar MOSFETs and Compact Power Modules with Epoxy-Resin Potting Technology for Energy Infrastructure Applications \nPresenter: Dr. Arash Salemi\, Senior Manager of Technical Marketing and SiC Technology at Navitas Semiconductor \nDr. Arash Salemi is the Senior Manager of Technical Marketing and SiC Technology at Navitas Semiconductor. Dr. Salemi’s industrial experience includes senior technical marketing and SiC device design roles at onsemi and Alpha and Omega Semiconductor. He holds a Ph.D. from KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, where he developed a wide range of 4.5 kV to 15 kV SiC BJTs and PiN diodes. \nHis research background features postdoctoral work at Purdue University (trench-SiC MOSFETs) and the Ohio State University (SiC MOSFETs reliability). While at the OSU\, he also co-developed a freely accessible online video course on Si and WBG Power Devices for the Consortium of Universities for Sustainable Power (CUSP). \nDr. Salemi holds two M.Sc. degrees\, one in Physics and one in Nanotechnology. He was on the organization committee in ICSCRM 2024 and served as the technical editor for the proceedings. \nAbstract: Navitas Semiconductor is advancing the next generation of mission-critical high-voltage Wide Bandgap (WBG) power semiconductor technology\, which is enabling the modernization of energy infrastructure in data centers\, utility-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS)\, EV megawatt charging systems (MCS)\, and renewable energy systems like solar and wind. This presentation details our state-of-the-art new generation 3300 V and 2300 V SiC MOSFETs\, highlighting the benefits of our novel GeneSiC™ Trench-Assisted Planar (TAP) architecture and compact SiCPaK™ power modules with epoxy-resin potting technology – essential for highly efficient and reliable power electronics systems.Furthermore\, we will present a technical preview to showcase further expansion into higher-voltage power semiconductor technologies\, including the results of our 6500 V SiC MOSFETs – demonstrating Navitas’ commitment to enabling future generations of power electronic systems. \n\n\nZOOM WEBINAR LINK

SUMMARY:Virtual Webinar: GaN FET – based Compact Converters for Pulsed Power Applications
DESCRIPTION:Where: Online via Zoom \nWhen: Wednesday\, Dec. 4 from 12:00pm – 1:00pm EST \nTopic: GaN FET – based Compact Converters for Pulsed Power Applications \nPresenter: Dr. Harish Krishnamoorthy \nDr. Harish S. Krishnamoorthy\, a Senior IEEE Member and Associate Professor at the University of Houston\, holds a B.Tech. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from NIT Tiruchirappalli and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Texas A&M University. He has extensive industry experience with GE\, Schlumberger\, Ford\, and Google\, has published over 110 research papers\, and holds two U.S. patents. \nAn active IEEE conference organizer and Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics\, he has received numerous awards\, including the NSF CAREER Award. His research\, supported by projects totaling approximately $10 million\, focuses on wide-bandgap semiconductor power systems for renewable energy\, electrified transportation\, and energy system reliability. \nAbstract: The presentation will explore the design of power converters for pulsed power applications\, focusing on high-energy\, fast-response\, and high-density power needs in fields like aerospace\, defense\, and medical technology. Starting with an overview of major applications\, the talk will dive into radar and NMR spectroscopy\, examining their unique power conversion demands. A 2-stage converter architecture using GaN HEMTs will be detailed\, highlighting the isolated and non-isolated stages tailored for these high-performance applications. Key challenges\, such as creating compact (100 W/in³)\, rapid-response (<1 µs)\, and high-temperature (>150°C) capable designs\, will also be discussed. \nZoom Webinar Link
