BPEC researchers Syed Tahmid Mahbub and Nagesh Patle are recipients of the 2025 Graduate Research Grants from the nonprofit organization Hearts to Humanity Eternal (H2H8). This broadly defined award is granted to thirty graduate researchers each year to fund research that improves world-affecting problems like climate change or furthers advancements in medicine, space exploration, artificial intelligence, and more. Nagesh’s graduate research centers upon ultra-efficient, ultra-dense hybrid switched-capacitor power converters for data center and automotive systems to ease the power delivery limits that constrain modern AI and advanced computing. Tahmid’s graduate research addresses practical challenges in power electronics to help accelerate the adoption of renewable energy and electric transportation, and to reduce power consumption in data centers.
