AN IMMERSIVE PROGRAM FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS AND YPS
Ph.D. Schools
PELS Ph.D. Schools provide an immersive platform for graduate students and young professionals to deepen their knowledge and advance their skills in power electronics. Typically spanning 4 to 5 days, Ph.D. Schools are hosted by esteemed institutions worldwide. The program of each Ph.D. School varies, but generally includes keynote presentations by leading experts, technical lectures, workshops, and networking sessions. Attendees gain invaluable insights and forge connections with peers and industry professionals.
Join us at a PELS PhD School or host your own to embark on a transformative journey toward advancing expertise and shaping the future of power electronics.
