Utah State University
Shubhangi Gurudiwan is a Ph.D. student at Utah State University (USU) and a research assistant in the NSF Engineering Research Center ASPIRE at USU. At ASPIRE, she is working towards designing high-efficiency converters for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Her research interests include the design and control of DC-DC, DC-AC, Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) and resonant converters, Extreme Fast Chargers (XFC) for electric vehicle batteries, and high-power density converter design based on wide band gap devices. She completed her M.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India, where she worked on designing a 1.5 kW Gallium Nitride (GaN) based half bridge PWM converter. Prior to joining Utah State University for her Ph.D., She worked in the traction industry at Hind Rectifiers, India for 3 years as a senior research engineer and later as a deputy manager. At Hind Rectifiers, she worked as a lead engineer for the development of a 500 kVA locomotive AC-AC converter. She has been an IEEE PELS and WiE student member since 2021 and served as the chair of the Utah State University IEEE PELS student chapter in 2023.
