Science and Engineering

Power electronics are essential in critical quality-of-life technology used in air conditioners, laundry machines, fluorescent lamps etc in addition to various industries, electrical power itself, new energy sources such as solar cells and fuel cells, and battery powered cars and trains. Power electronics concerns technology used to convert and control electric energy and ensure efficient use of it, thus contributing to solving energy and environmental problems, and hence you will be assured of having a worthwhile career after entering the workforce. In more detail we are involved in the following activities. (1) Studying the basis of electronic circuits through fabrication tests of the I/O peripheral circuits of microcomputers and electronic circuits such as drive circuits. (2) Studying the basis of real-time control while creating control software in the C-language in order to control inverters and electric motors using DSP and RISC microcomputers. (3) Studying the basis of control while establishing a system using the famous software of MATLAB and SIMULINK.
