Dimosthenis Peftitsis

About

Dimosthenis Peftitsis was born in May 1985 in Kavala, Greece. He obtained the Diploma Degree with honours in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Democritus University of Thrace (Xanthi, Greece) in 2008. In his last year, he spent six months in ABB Corporate Research (Västerås, Sweden) writing his diploma thesis. In 2013, he received the PhD degree from KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden).

Dimosthenis has been a Postdoctoral Researcher involved in the research on SiC converters at the Department of Electrical Energy Conversion, KTH Royal Institute of Technology (2013-2014). He has also worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Lab for High Power Electronics Systems, ETH Zurich, where he was involved in research on dc-breakers for multiterminal HVDC systems (2014-2016).

In 2016, he joined the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway, as an Associate Professor of power electronics at the Department of Electric Power Engineering. In 2022, he became full Professor.

His current research interests are:

WBG (e.g. SiC, GaN) power converters design for high-power and MV applications
Adaptive gate driver designs for WBG devices
DC-breaker designs for MV and HVDC systems
High-performance power supplies for particle accelerators
Reliability assessment and lifetime modelling of high-power semiconductor devices
Reliability of SiC power switches.

Prof. Peftitsis is a Senior Member of IEEE and a member of the EPE International Scientific Committee. Since 2018, he has been the chairman of the IEEE Power Electronics, Industry Applications, and Industrial Electronics Joint Societies Chapter. In 2022, he was appointed IEEE PELS Regional Distinguished Lecturer for Region 8. Prof. Peftitsis is also an academic expert in the Power Electronic Conversion Technology Annex at IEA.

He also serves as an Associate Editor for IET Power Electronics and for the Journal of the European Power Electronics and Drives Association (EPE Journal).

Dimosthenis is a member of the Outstanding Academic Fellows Programme at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (2019-2023).
