Maksimovic wins two IEEE awards for power electronics contributions
Professor Dragan Maksimovic has received two prestigious awards from IEEE, one of the leading professional organizations for the engineering and technology community worldwide.
The 2023IEEE William E.Newell Power Electronics Award honors Maksimovic for outstanding contributions to theadvancement of power electronics, specifically for his work in “digital control, modeling and topologies ofswitched-mode power supplies.”
The 2022 PELS R. David Middlebrook Achievement Award recognizes his contributions to modeling and analysis of digitally controlled power converters.
“These awards are very well-deserved,” said Department Chair Chris Myers. “Dragan is a leader in power electronics – both at CU Boulder and beyond – so I’m thrilled to see him recognized by his peers.”
Maksimovic is the co-founder of the Colorado Power Electronics Center and the co-director of engineering workforce development for , a multi-institutional research center focused on sustainable and equitable electrification across transportation industries. A fellow of IEEE, Maksimovic has published over 300in journals and at professional conferences and holds over 30 U.S. patents.
