Rolando Burgos

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Rolando Burgos (S’96–M’03–SM’20) received the B.S. on Electronics Engineering, the Electronics Engineering Professional Degree, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Concepción, Chile, in 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2002 respectively. In 2002 he joined, as Postdoctoral Fellow, the Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES) at Virginia Tech, in Blacksburg, VA, becoming Research Scientist in 2003, and Research Assistant Professor in 2005. In 2009 he joined ABB Corporate Research in Raleigh, NC, where he was Scientist (2009–2010), and Principal Scientist (2010–2012). In 2010 he was appointed Adjunct Associate Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at North Carolina State University at the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center. In 2012 he returned to Virginia Tech as associate professor in The Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where he earned his tenure in 2017 and was promoted to professor in 2019. Since 2021 he has been the Director of CPES. His research interests include high power density wide-bandgap semiconductor-based power conversion—low voltage and medium voltage applications, packaging and integration, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), multi-phase multi-level power converters, modeling and control, grid power electronics systems, and the stability of ac and dc power systems.

Dr. Burgos is Member of the IEEE Power Electronics Society, the IEEE Industry Applications Society, the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, and the IEEE Power and Energy Society.
