Student Members

Student Members are vital members of PELS since they represent the future of the field and do much of the cutting-edge research that is presented and published at PELS conferences.  PELS aims to cultivate a vibrant community for Student Members to develop their careers in power electronics by providing the following:

• Competitions: Some of these are sponsored by PELS.
• Conference Events: Some of these events include student-industry networking receptions and mentorship.
• Student Branch Chapters (SBC): SBCs offer the opportunity for Student Members in local areas to develop activities for professional development, network with colleagues, and share expertise through a technical exchange.  PELS provides multiple resources to support SBCs.
• Travel Grants: PELS provides travel grants to support the participation of students at PELS conferences.

Students are able to join PELS for a very low membership fee per year.  Get connected with the power electronics community and make an impact in this exciting field!
