Power electronics and power systems expert with experience in the area of energy storage systems, control, modeling and simulation, power conversion, battery systems, motor drives, pulsed power, and protection systems. While these subjects are my primary area of expertise, I also have a very broad foundation covering electrochemistry, control theory, dynamic systems, acoustics, renewable energy, and other diverse areas of engineering, science, and mathematics. In addition to my extensive technical background, I enjoy and excel at training, teaching, and leading junior engineers and passing on the knowledge and skills I’ve accumulated.
