Dr. Shadnam is a Power Electronics Engineer and Postdoctoral Researcher at Tyndall National Institute, University College Cork, specializing in high-power density converter design, EV powertrains, and extreme fast-charging systems. His current research focuses on wide-bandgap (WBG) devices such as SiC and GaN, enabling compact, efficient, and reliable power conversion solutions, with extensive use of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing for design validation. He is a key contributor to the FET-EV: 3C-SiC FET Revolution for Highly Efficient and Extreme Fast EV Charging Solutions project, which aims to revolutionize EV charging through advanced semiconductor technologies. His expertise covers power electronics converter design (AC/DC, DC/DC, PV inverters), motor drive systems, embedded control development, and system integration for e-mobility, renewable energy, and smart grids. Technically, Dr. Shadnam has advanced proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, PSCAD/EMTDC, Cadence® PSpice, LTSpice, and embedded programming tools, as well as practical experience in system prototyping, testing, and commissioning. He has a deep understanding of power electronics, power quality, and compliance with automotive and grid standards. Beyond his technical strengths, he brings strong problem-solving and analytical skills, clear technical documentation and reporting, and the ability to communicate complex concepts to multidisciplinary teams and diverse audiences. He is highly effective in project management, team coordination, and industry–academia collaboration, delivering impactful outcomes in both research and commercial settings. Academically, he holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Power Electronics and Drive Motors) from Iran University of Science and Technology, an M.Sc. in Power Electronics from the University of Tabriz, and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Azarbaijan Sh
