Power electronics can be found in everything from cellphones and laptops that we use on an everyday basis to gasoline and electric vehicles, industrial motors and inverters that connect solar panels to the electric grid. With the rapid miniaturization and increased electrical power consumption of our devices and appliances, unique challenges related to energy efficiency, power density and electromagnetic compatibility are imposed on the power electronics within these systems. This talk will look at the trends in power electronics across the consumer, industrial and automotive applications and will describe the ongoing research efforts and highlight the challenges moving forward.
