Biography
Saikat Dey earned his doctoral degree from Arizona State University in 2025 and his B.Tech. degree in electrical engineering from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology. From 2018 to 2020, he was a power electronics design engineer with Tagore Technology (currently part of Global Foundaries). He also worked as power conversion control intern at Lucid Motors in 2023, where he worked with the vehicle charging team.
Dey’s research interests include design, modeling, optimization and control of multi-order power electronic converters, high frequency high-density and highly efficient power conversion solutions using wide-bandgap semiconductors with applications in clean energy systems, transportation electrification, extreme temperature/space electronics, AI-assisted parameter estimation, health monitoring, reliability studies and optimized design of power converters. He also He has authored/co-authored/co-inventor of one book, over 40 peer reviewed IEEE transactions and conference papers and five pending US patents. His past research has been sponsored by NASA, US DOD, DOE, NSF and CoolCAD Electronics.
Dey has earned various awards and recognitions, notably the 2023 IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics’ second place Prize Paper Award, the Best Presentation Award at the 2022 Applied Power Electronics Conference, the 2023 Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing AZ Fellowship, the 2022 IEEE Industrial Electronics Society HOPE Prize and the 2018 Best Bachelors’ Thesis Award from the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
