Welcome to the Power Electronics Research Group at Arizona State University, led by Professor Ayan Mallik. We specialize in innovating and developing next-generation high-performance power electronic systems, with an emphasis on wide bandgap (WBG) power converters of all kinds, switching in the range of 100s of kHz to multi-MHz, utilizing advanced control methods, novel modeling strategies and AI-derived optimization techniques—all developed in-house.

Our current research areas include:
Multi-MHz multi-kW ultra-fast RADAR power converter for defense applications
Extreme-environment Wide Bandgap (WBG) Radiation Tolerant Power Electronics for Space Applications.
Multiport multidirectional power conversion (M2PC) for grid-storage-renewables integration
Cell-level power electronics (cPE) for grid-tied energy storage applications
AI-enabled parameter estimation and online health monitoring of power converter systems
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) modeling, estimation, and mitigation through high-precision parasitic estimation methodologies and active filtering approaches.
High-density wide bandgap semiconductor based high-performance DC-DC power conversion (400V-48V, 400V-12V, 48V-1V) for next generation data centers and point-of-load (PoL) applications.
High-efficiency high-density wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor based bidirectional Onboard Chargers (OBC) for Electric Vehicles with Reduced Charging Time
AI-enabled power converter optimization
Microgrid controls and distributed energy resources (DER)
Cyber-resiliency of EV charging networks : Real time intelligent data processing algorithm-enabled cyber-threat detection and mitigation approach.
