Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland
I am fascinated by discovery, ideas, and strategy in technology. I enjoy delivering results that serve and inspire others in their work. I value my connections and resonant relationships. As an engineer with industry, I have delivered technology that has been transformed into products in the field of Static Variable Compensators with energy storage, HVDC DC/DC systems, and Utility scale Solar. In my work at a High Energy Physics Laboratory, I focus on facility powering studies, with emphasis on regenerative power converter topologies, semiconductors, and magnetics. I am driven by a passion for change and problem-solving. I collaborate with international teams and regularly supervise students and graduates.
