I

n July 2014, in parallel with the
Little Box Challenge, an open
competition sponsored by Google
and the IEEE Power Electronics
Society, Google Research announced
the Little Box Challenge award program for academics. Its aim is to support academics pursuing groundbreaking research in the area of
increasing the power density for dc-
ac power conversion. Over 100 propo s a l s were received . G oog le
announced the recipients of the academic awards in mid-December of
last year (see Table 1).
According to the Google Research
blog, each of the recipients will receive
