Education Background
editDr. Maksimović received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Belgrade, Serbia, in 1984 and 1986, respectively, and earned a Ph.D. degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1989.[5]
Academic and Research Contributions
editDr. Maksimović has worked on fields within power electronics, such as PWM controllers, DC-DC converters, power-factor-correction rectifiers, and digital control, which has resulted in more than 45,000 citations as per Google Scholar (as of July 28, 2024), including publications in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.[6]
He has co-authored a textbook entitled "Fundamentals of Power Electronics," now in its 3rd edition, published by Springer in 2020, which has received more than 14,500 citations as per Google Scholar.[7][6] He has also authored his second book, entitled "Digital Control of High-Frequency Siwtched-Mode Power Converters," published by Wiley-IEEE Press in 2015.[8] He holds over 45 patents in the field of power electronics.[9]
Apart from teaching at his university, Dr. Maksimović teaches Modeling and Control of Power Electronics Specialization on Coursera, which consists of five short courses entitled "Average-Switch Modeling and Simulation," "Techniques of Design-Oriented Analysis," "Input Filter Design," "Current-Mode Control," and "Modeling and Control of Single-Phase Rectifiers and Inverters."[2]
Awards and Distinctions
editDr. Maksimović was a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER award in 1997.[10][11] In 2012, the IEEE Power Electronics Society[12] (PELS) awarded him the IEEE Modeling and Control Technical Achievement Award for his technical contributions to the advancement of power electronics in modeling and control.[4]
In 2015, Dr. Maksimović was elevated to IEEE Fellow under the category "Research Engineer/Scientist" with the citation for the award mentioned as "For contribution to digital control of high-frequency switched-mode power converters."[3] Seven years later, in 2022, he was awarded the PELS R. David Middlebrook Achievement Award[13] for his contributions to the modeling and analysis of digitally controlled power converters.[14] In the subsequent year (2023), Dr. Maksimović was awarded the IEEE William E. Newell Power Electronics Award[15] for his work in "digital control, modeling and topologies of switched-mode power supplies."[14]
