I am well-versed in simulation and design tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, LTspice, and Altium, and brings strong hands-on experience in PCB design, gate driver development for Si/SiC MOSFETs and IGBTs, and sensor integration. With a solid publication record and proven leadership across academic and industrial settings, he is seeking opportunities in research focused environments that promote innovation, foster technical growth, and long-term development.

Here’s your professional experience written in first person:

I hold a Ph.D. in Power Electronics and Machine Drives from IIT Kharagpur, with expertise in hardware and firmware design, converter modeling, thermal management, control development, and experimental validation.

Currently, I serve as Technical Lead at Tessolve Semiconductors, where I lead the hardware and design team for SMPS and static voltage regulator development, and implement firmware on STM32 Nucleo and TI DSP platforms. Alongside, as a Senior Engineer at L&T Technology Services, I work on the R&D of isolated resonant converters for MW-level EV powertrains, including resonant tank analysis, passive component selection, and thermal design.

Previously, as Senior and Junior Research Fellow at IIT Kharagpur, I designed and validated innovative DC–DC and DC–AC converter topologies for PV and energy storage integration, collaborated with industry partners, and developed experimental prototypes for real-world deployment. My career began as a Lecturer at SMIT, Odisha, where I taught core Electrical and Electronics Engineering subjects and supervised laboratories.

My technical strengths include power converter design and control, wide bandgap device applications, magnetic design, loss/thermal analysis, PCB design (Altium), and simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, and LTspice, along with embedded programming in C/C++. I have published multiple IEEE Transactions and conference papers, and actively review for leading IEEE journals and conferences.

I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Kharagpur, specializing in Power Electronics and Machine Drives. My doctoral research focused on developing advanced converter topologies and control strategies for grid-connected and standalone PV systems with integrated energy storage, targeting ancillary services such as inertia support and primary frequency response.

I hold an M.Tech. in Industrial Electronics from NIT Rourkela, where my thesis involved modeling a PMSG-based standalone wind energy conversion system. I completed my B.Tech. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Roland Institute of Technology, graduating at the top of my class.
