Design and development of SiC high voltage devices in 3.3 – 50 kV range, dc and dynamic characterization, failure mechanisms and reliability testing. These devices will support medium and high voltage applications such as motor drives, extreme EV charging, central PV and wind inverters, microgrid interfaces, grid support equipment, UPS, pulse power and many others. GaN power devices and development of smart power integrated circuits are of great interest as well. These devices and circuits will address applications in 50 W to kW converters such as power supplies, power adapters, PV microinverters, vehicle on-board chargers etc.
