Ismael Araujo-Vargas (M’02) received the B.Sc. degree in communications and electronics engineering from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional of Mexico (IPN), Mexico City, Mexico, in 1999, the M.Sc. degree in power electronics and drives from the Universities of Birmingham and Nottingham (joint degree), Birmingham U.K., in 2001, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and electronic engineering from the University of Manchester, Manchester, U.K., in 2007. Since 2001, he has been a Lecturer of power electronics with the Escuela Superior de Ingeniería Mecánica y Eléctrica, ESIME Culhuacan, IPN, Mexico City, Mexico, where he obtained recognition in 2008 to be with the Postgraduate and Research Studies Section of ESIME Culhuacan. From 2010 to 2012, he coordinated a research project on power quality issues for the Metropolitan Underground System of Mexico City, STC Metro, from which he established the Electric Power Conversion and Quality Research Laboratory (LINC 2 E 2 or LYNX) of the IPN. Since 2016, he has been leading research projects on high power density electronics for electric vehicles. His research interests include high-power factor rectifiers, multilevel inverters, DC–DC converters, and modeling and control of power electronic systems for more-electric transportation systems. Dr. Araujo-Vargas has participated in several journal and conference papers, and as a regular Reviewer of the IEEE Transactions in Power Electronics, IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics on Power Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications and their respective conferences.
