Juan Rivas-Davila

Professor of Electrical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
Juan Rivas is a Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. Before joining Stanford, he worked in the high-frequency power electronics group at GE Global Research. He has extensive experience designing dc-dc power converters that operate at MHz frequencies, and he has published peer-reviewed work on converters reaching 100 MHz using both silicon and wide-bandgap (WBG) devices. He received his Ph.D. from MIT in 2006. His research interests include power electronics, resonant converters, resonant gate drive techniques, high-frequency magnetics, and new applications for power converters.
