Stanford University

Prof. Juan Rivas-Davila (Stanford University) is an Associate Professor in Stanford’s Electrical Engineering department. Before, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan and worked for GE Global Research in the high-frequency power electronics group. He has experience designing dc-dc power converters working at MHz frequencies. He has published peer-reviewed work on power converters reaching up to 100 MHz using Si and WBG devices. He obtained his Master's (2003) and a doctoral degree from MIT (2006). He received his undergraduate degree from the Monterrey Institute of Technology, Mexico City campus, in 1998. His research interests include power electronics, resonant converters, resonant gate drive techniques, high-frequency magnetics, and finding new applications for power converters.
