OverviewAI-generated summary

David A. Porras Fernandez's research focuses on the design and optimization of power electronic converters and magnetic components for high-power, medium-voltage applications. His work includes the investigation of cascaded H-bridge converters, dual-active bridge converters, and three-phase isolated building blocks, often incorporating advanced semiconductor devices like SiC MOSFETs. He has studied current resonances in medium-voltage transformers and compared core losses in different magnetic materials. Porras Fernandez also explores optimization algorithms for converter designs and magnetic components, such as Rogowski coils. His research is supported by collaborations with Juan Carlos Balda, Ahmed Rahouma, and Roderick A. Gomez Jimenez at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
