About Me

I am currently a PhD student at UC Berkeley, following a 6-year journey working at Apple after my undergrad years at Cornell University. I am a 2025 Paul & Daisy Soros fellow. I grew up in Dhaka, Bangladesh where my interest in electronics was cultivated, resulting in the creation of this blog.

Power Testbench and Upcoming Power Electronics Tutorials


While I have written many articles on this blog about power electronics related topics, I am hoping to share more fundamentally structured tutorials and articles, based on power electronics fundamentals that have been reinforced during my time in graduate school. To that end, I have designed a testbench to cover topics ranging from basics to slightly more involved ones. I have completed the design of a power electronics test bench, sent out the PCB files to be fabbed at OSHPark, and ordered parts from Digikey.

Here are some ideas I have for topics to cover, and I'd love to get feedback on other topics of interest!

Here are a couple 3D renders of the testbench hardware from Altium:

I will go over more details of the design and will be sharing the Altium design files and bringup progress when the board is back! I am hoping to use this design and framework to provide more structured tutorials on power electronics, building on past articles on this blog.
