Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Roderick Amir Gomez's research focuses on the design and implementation of power electronic converters and systems for high-power applications, particularly in automotive and medium-voltage grid integration. His work investigates advanced converter topologies, such as interleaved ZCS boost converters and three-phase isolated building blocks, to achieve high power density and efficiency. Gomez has explored the impact of core materials, including ferrite and nanocrystalline cores, on high-frequency losses, and has studied etching processes to mitigate interlamination short circuits in tape-wound cut cores. He has also worked with 10-kV SiC MOSFETs to develop high-frequency power conversion blocks and three-phase dual active bridges for medium-voltage grid applications. His research interests extend to thermal management techniques, such as inductor encapsulation, to further increase power density. Gomez has collaborated with researchers Juan Carlos Balda and Shamar Christian at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on several publications.
