Center for Power Electronics Systems, Virginia Tech

Congratulations Feng Jin, PhD! Feng Jin earned his PhD after conducting research with advisor Qiang Li focused on the DC/DC conversion stage of a bi-directional battery charger for electric vehicles. His dissertation is titled, “PCB-Based High-Power DC/DC Converters with Integrated Magnetics for Battery Charger Applications” available to Industry Consortium Members at this link - https://lnkd.in/depr6b8S. Reflecting on his experience at CPES, Feng comments, "CPES is not just a research center, it is a hub of innovation where the pursuit of excellence drives both personal and professional development. I will always cherish my time there." Feng has joined Delta Electronics as a Member of the R&D Staff. Best wishes Feng! #CPES #electricvehicles #widebandgap #highfrequency #bidirectionalbatterycharger #resonantconverter #PCBmagneticintegration #EMIshielding
