Dr. Wang is trained in Electrical engineering and his area of expertise is in reliability testing and test system design of power electronics devices, with an emphasis on the double-pulse test of the Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors (MOSFETs). He has years of experience in switching transient optimization and threshold voltage shift of Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs.
Dr. Wang also has hands-on experience in double-pulse test system design including GUI design for the control system using python and LabVIEW, control program of the embedded system using C and C++, design of the hardware power circuit and the gate driver circuit, data processing using MATLAB.
Before joining Exponent, Dr. Wang was a research engineer at Toshiba Bristol Research and Innovation Laboratory, where he developed an Active Gate Driver (AGD) test platform for super junction MOSFETs. He investigated the dynamic performance of MOSFETs under different AGD signals and proposed an optimized AGD signal to turn on an MOSFET with less ringing and less switching loss. Also, he designed an automated test program for AGD signals on a boost converter with the function of a user-friendly interface, automated test and data processing, data visualization.
