IEEE Power Electronics Magazine - June 2015 - 56

University of Colorado at Boulder,
where he is currently the Charles V.
Schelke Endowed Professor in the
Department of Electrical, Computer,
and Energy Engineering and the
director of the Colorado Power Electronics Center (CoPEC). The CoPEC
research program in smart power
electronics and digital control for
high-frequency switched-mode
power converters has been supported by numerous industrial sponsors
and agencies. He has published over
180 papers in journals and at professional conferences, and he holds
over 20 U.S. patents. He received the
U.S. National Science Foundation
(NSF) CAREER Award in 1997, the
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics Prize Paper Award in 1997,
the IEEE Power Electronics Society
Prize Letter Awards in 2009 and 2010,
the Holland Teaching Awards in 2004
and 2011, and CU Boulder Inventor
of the Year Award in 2006. He is a
coauthor of Fundamentals of Power
Electronics (second edition, Springer, 2001). His current research interests include digital control of
switched-mode power converters,
power electronics for renewable
energy sources and energy efficiency, as well as analog, digital and
mixed-signal integrated circuits for
power management applications.

seth r. sanders
Seth R. Sanders is
a professor of
electrical engineering in the
Department of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of
California, Berkeley. He received his
S.B. degrees in electrical engineering
and physics in 1981 and his S.M. and
Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering in 1985 and 1989, respectively,
from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Cambridge. Following an
early experience as a design engineer
at the Honeywell Test Instruments Division in 1981-1983, he joined the University of California Berkeley faculty
in 1989.
His research interests are in highfrequency power conversion circuits
and components, design and control
of electric machine systems, and nonlinear circuit and system theory as
related to the power electronics field.
He is presently or has recently been
active in supervising research projects in the areas of flywheel energy
storage, novel electric machine design, renewable energy systems, and
digital PWM strategies and associated
IC designs for power conversion applications. During the 1992-1993 academic year, he was on industrial leave
with National Semiconductor, Santa
Clara, California. He received the NSF
Young Investigator Award in 1993 and
multiple Best Paper Awards from the
IEEE PELS and the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS). He was chair
of the IEEE Technical Committee on
Computers in Power Electronics and
a member-at-large of the IEEE PELS
AdCom. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.
