Drazen Dujic (S'03-M'09-SM'12)
received the Dipl.-Ing. and M.Sc. degrees from the
University of Novi Sad, Novi Sad, Serbia, in 2002
and 2005, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from
the Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool,
U.K., in 2008, all in electrical engineering. From
2002 to 2006, he was with the Department of
Electrical Engineering, University of Novi Sad as
a Research Assistant, and from 2006 to 2009 with
Liverpool John Moores University as a Research
Associate. From 2009 till 2013, he was with ABB
Corporate Research Centre, Switzerland, as a Principal Scientist working on
the power electronics projects spanning the range from low-voltage/power
SMPS in below kilowatt range to medium voltage high-power converters in
a megawatt range. During 2010-2011, he was a member of a project team
responsible for the development of the worlds first power electronic traction
transformer (PETT) successfully commissioned on the locomotive. From 2013
till 2014, he was with ABB Medium Voltage Drives, Turgi, Switzerland, as
R&D Platform Manager, responsible for ABB's largest IGCT based medium
voltage drive - ACS6000. He is currently with Ecole Polytechnique Federale
de Lausanne EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland, as an Assistant Professor and the
Director of the Power Electronics Laboratory. His current research interests
include the areas of design and control of advanced high-power electronics
systems and high performance drives. He has authored or coauthored more
than 100 scientific publications and has filed twelve patents. He is an Associate
Editor for IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, IEEE Transaction on
Power Electronics and IET Electric Power Applications. He has received
the First Prize Paper Award by the Electric Machines Committee of the
IEEE Industrial Electronics Society at IECON-2007. In 2014 he has received
the Isao Takahashi Power Electronics Award for outstanding achievement in
