Student Competitions

To encourage the next generation power electronics engineers and researchers, the committee has initiated a new award--IEEE PELS Ph.D. Thesis Talk Award (P3 Talk). The goal of the competition is to showcase Ph.D. projects to the entire power electronics community - both in academia and industry in 3 minutes.
