Personal profile
Research interests
Thomas Langbauer received his bachelor's in 2015 and master's degree in 2018 in electrical engineering from Graz University of Technology. Since 2018 he is working for Silicon Austria Labs within the Divison Power Electronics. He contributed to the Tiny Power Box project, which was aiming for highest power density for a bidirectional onboard charger for electric cars. From 2021 to 2022 he was an academic guest at the Power Electronic Systems Laboratory at ETH Zurich for six months. Currently, Thomas finalized his PhD thesis in 2023, which was supervised at the Electric Drives and Machines Institute at Graz University of Technology. His main research interests are power dense converters including modulation schemes and control design.
