Research Interests

Modern power electronics is my general research interest. Specifically, I am in interested in digital control and advanced power management techniques for low-power high-frequency switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) as well as in the development of systems-on-chip for low-power management. This research involves mixed-signal IC design, utilization of advanced digital-signal processing and control techniques, modeling, and  the development of new converter and controller topologies. 

More about specific projects I am conducting, industry and government research partners, and my group  you can find at the web site of the Laboratory for Low-Power Management and Integrated SMPS, which I established in May 2004.

Teaching

At the university of Toronto I teach undergraduate circuit theory class and a set of three Power Electronics courses on the design and implementation of low-power switch-mode power supplies. The set includes a practical design laboratory and covers topics ranging from the basic principles of switch-mode energy conversion to the most advanced converter topologies. Topics such as advanced control methods, including digital control of low-power SMPS, resonant converters, power management techniques, modern power devices and packaging are discussed in the courses.
