He is focusing on the ramp and acceleration of GaN technology, to bring reliable power electronics products to market. Since traditional reliability testing does not cover use cases of power electronics, he has developed methodologies to know that GaN products will be reliable in all kinds of applications. He works with customers to understand their use-cases, assesses the operational impact of the system-level stresses on devices, and drives efforts across technology teams to assure high-quality parts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sandeep played a key role in the GaN industry standardization effort, which led to the formation of the JEDEC JC70 committee and the increasing market adoption of GaN. He serves as co-chair of the JC70 GaN reliability task group and led the first JEDEC GaN reliability guideline, JEP180. He co-founded TI\u2019s GaN product line and co-invented TI\u2019s direct-drive GaN architecture. Sandeep has a PhD from MIT and is a distinguished member of technical staff at TI.<\/p>\n\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Carlos-Balda-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Carlos-Balda-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Carlos-Balda-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/poweramericainstitute.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Juan-Carlos-Balda.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Juan Carlos Balda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Former Department Head of Electrical Engineering<br>University of Arkansas<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ncst-accordion\" >\n    <div class=\"accordion\" id=\"ncst-accordion-xfzxds\">\n          \n<div class=\"panel wp-block-ncst-accordion-item\">\n    <a\n      class=\"accordion-item__header collapsed\"\n      href=\"#ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-cnwaxz\"\n      id=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-cnwaxz\"\n      data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n      data-target=\"#ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-cnwaxz\"\n      aria-controls=\"ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-cnwaxz\"\n      rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n    >\n      <span class=\"accordion-item__expansion-indicator\">\n        <span class=\"ncst-plus-minus-toggle\"><\/span>\n      <\/span>\n      <h2 class=\"accordion-item__label h6\">Topic: <strong>Potential Applications of SiC MOSFETs in Electric Power Distribution Systems<\/strong><\/h2>\n    <\/a>\n    <div\n      class=\"panel-collapse accordion-item__content-container collapse \"\n      id=\"ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-cnwaxz\"\n      aria-labelledby=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-cnwaxz\"\n      data-parent=\"#ncst-accordion-xfzxds\"\n    >\n      <div class=\"accordion-item__content\">\n        \n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"panel wp-block-ncst-accordion-item\">\n    <a\n      class=\"accordion-item__header collapsed\"\n      href=\"#ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-5qwkk9\"\n      id=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-5qwkk9\"\n      data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n      data-target=\"#ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-5qwkk9\"\n      aria-controls=\"ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-5qwkk9\"\n      rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n    >\n      <span class=\"accordion-item__expansion-indicator\">\n        <span class=\"ncst-plus-minus-toggle\"><\/span>\n      <\/span>\n      <h2 class=\"accordion-item__label h6\">Biography<\/h2>\n    <\/a>\n    <div\n      class=\"panel-collapse accordion-item__content-container collapse \"\n      id=\"ncst-accordion-item-xfzxds-5qwkk9\"\n      aria-labelledby=\"ncst-accordion-item-heading-5qwkk9\"\n      data-parent=\"#ncst-accordion-xfzxds\"\n    >\n      <div class=\"accordion-item__content\">\n        \n\n<p><strong>Juan Carlos Balda<\/strong> (IEEE M&#8217;78 SM&#8217;94, LM\u20192022) received his B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Universidad Nacional del Sur (Bah\u00eda Blanca, Argentina) in 1979, and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Natal (Durban, South Africa) in 1986.
