Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Amol Deshpande's research focuses on the development and evaluation of power electronic systems, particularly those utilizing silicon carbide (SiC) and insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) technologies. His work has included the design of high power-density building blocks for applications such as aircraft electric-propulsion drives and traction inverters. Deshpande has investigated hybrid switch configurations combining Si IGBTs with SiC MOSFETs, examining factors like parasitic interconnect influences, cost, and current ratio optimization.

His research also encompasses the design and evaluation of power modules and laminated busbars, with an emphasis on enhanced dynamic current sharing and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Deshpande has explored the thermal and electrical performance of high-voltage power modules, including those employing additively manufactured coolers. He has contributed to the development of three-level T-type Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) power modules and phase-leg power electronic building blocks for aircraft motor driving applications.

Deshpande received his M.S. from The Ohio State University and his Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas, where he was a Graduate Research Assistant with the NSF POETS ERC. He has co-authored over 30 journal articles and conference papers and received a Best Paper Award at the 2016 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE). He currently works as a Hardware Development Engineer at Wolfspeed, Inc., focusing on medium- and high-voltage power module research and development.
