• [Oct'26] Publication, where I am mentioned in the acknowledgment section, is accepted in IEEE (PREE) 2026, Japan, entitled "Re-examining Loss-optimal Transformer Design in Power Applications." My contribution was the initial formulating foundation of this work which was done by me as a later part of my final year dual degree project (DDP) report.

• [Sept'26] Visited HVDC valve factory of Hitachi Energy at Chennai arranged by company, and witnessed the huge physical cells and modules of MMC topology, and their assembly as well as testing setup. Also attended the company organised HVDC Strategy Summit 2026, where the global leadership team talked about the future of HVDC and Hitachi Energy's plan for supporting the energy transition.[pic]

• [April'26] Attended Energy Day 2026 conducted by Department of Energy Science and Engineering, IIT Bombay, while revisiting my alma mater. Met with my dual degree project (DDP) advisor cum Guru, Prof. D Venkatramanan (also served as the Faculty In-charge for organizing & conducting Energy Day 2026) and EMPES Lab juniors. Also gave a talk at EMPES Lab about my experience transitioning from academia to corporate. [pic1, pic2, pic3, pic4]

• [Sept'25]   Won the "Undergraduate Research Award (URA-03)" in the Master's Degree category at IIT Bombay for my final year dual degree project (DDP) work under supervision of Prof. D Venkatramanan  on the topic of "High-Frequency Transformer Design, Optimisation and Characterisation." [pic]

• [Aug'25]   Joined "HITACHI ENERGY TECHNOLOGY SERVICES PRIVATE LIMITED" as a "Business R&D Experienced Professional - HVDC System Design - IDC" in Chennai, India.

• [Aug'25]   My 2nd publication is available on IEEE Xplore, entitled "Experimental Characterization of High-frequency Transformers for Isolated DC-DC Converters" (see publication section in menu bar).

• [June'25]   Graduated from IIT Bombay with transformative learning, strong values and some great network. One of the key message that I am leaving this campus is with the aim of how can I contribute back to people in my capacity. The following attached pictures shows the convocation day where I am receiving the degree from IIT Bombay Director Prof. Shireesh Kedare, and a group picture with my batchmates [pic1, pic2] 

• [May '25]   Presented my work on "High-Frequency Transformer Characterisation" in the 17th edition of ECCE Asia 2025, and attended the same 4-day-long conference at Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India.[pic1, pic2, pic3]
