Dragan Maksimovic

Dragan Maksimovic received his B.S. (1984) and M.S. (1986) degrees from the University of Belgrade (Serbia, Yugoslavia), and his Ph.D. degree from California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, in 1989. In 1992, he joined the University of Colorado at Boulder where he is currently Charles V. Schelke Endowed Professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering and Director of the Colorado Power Electronics Center (CoPEC). CoPEC research program in smart power electronics and digital control for high-frequency switched-mode power converters has been supported by numerous industrial sponsors and agencies.

Prof. Maksimovic has published over 180 papers in journals and at professional conferences, and holds over 20 US patents. He received NSF CAREER Award in 1997, IEEE Power Electronics Society Transactions Prize Paper Award in 1997, IEEE Power Electronics Society Prize Letter Awards in 2009 and 2010, Holland Teaching Awards in 2004 and 2011, and CU Boulder Inventor of the Year Award in 2006. He is the co-author of the textbook Fundamentals of Power Electronics, 2^nd edition, Springer 2001. His current research interests include digital control of switched-mode power converters, power electronics for renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, as well as analog, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits for power management applications.
