The rapid expansion of renewable energy is transforming power systems worldwide, but efficiently converting low-voltage energy from sources such as solar panels into usable high-voltage electricity remains a major technical challenge. In his doctoral dissertation, MSc (Tech) Sohrab Abbasiankasehgari introduces new high-efficiency power converter technologies that improve the performance, reliability, and scalability of renewable energy systems. Abbasiankasehgari’s research supports the global transition towards sustainable and electrified energy infrastructure.
The doctoral dissertation of MSc (Tech) Sohrab Abbasiankasehgari in the field of Computing and Electrical Engineering, titled Soft-Switching DC-DC Converter with Coupled Inductors for High Step-Up Applications, will be publicly examined at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences at Tampere University on Friday 27 March 2026.
The Opponents will be Dr. Andrii Chub from Tallinn University of Technology, Estonia and Prof. Janis Zakis from Riga Technical University, Latvia. The Custos will be Associate Professor Tomi Roinila from Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences, Tampere University.
