Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shamar Christian's research focuses on advancing the power density and efficiency of electrical power converters and thermal management systems for high-power applications, particularly in the automotive sector. His work investigates novel approaches to cooling discrete semiconductor devices, such as additively manufactured hybrid polymer-metal coolers and inductor encapsulation methods, to enable increased power density. Christian also studies advanced control strategies for bidirectional DC-DC converters, including synchronous-variable-frequency control and modified space-vector modulation for soft-switching inverters. His recent publications detail the development of high power density boost converters and traction inverters utilizing silicon carbide devices. Christian collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Juan Carlos Balda, Roderick Amir Gomez, Asim Amir Solangi, and Yue Zhao.
