  • Power Electronics Winter Internship

    During my winter internship, I worked on creating a comprehensive model of a high-efficiency, high-frequency Class-E amplifier that could be used for plasma heating applications. Through this project, I worked with QSPICE, a new electronic circuit simulation software, and MATLAB. My work sought to improve this model for higher frequency operation by modeling the switching… Read more
