Berlin, Berlin, Germany
After completing a Ph.D. at Prof. Kolar’s Power Electronic Systems Laboratory in 2020, I joined Tesla in Germany to first establish the Traction Inverter Development EMEA team, and where I currently lead the whole Drive Unit Development EMEA organization: power electronics and mechanical engineers responsible for sustaining of current and design of next generation of drive units from concept until past SOP. My mission is to advance the state-of-the-art in power conversion, leveraging my research in cost-optimized electric drives, and my expertise in product development, automotive mass-manufacturing, and managing engineering organizations.
