Discover how smart power converters and AI-driven tech are revolutionizing clean energy and electrice vehicles.

Electric vehicles, renewable energy and smart infrastructure all rely on one thing: efficient power conversion. Imagine charging your car in minutes, driving farther on a single charge and battery-powered devices that are a fraction of the cost—all made possible by breakthroughs in how we manage electricity.
As we transition to a low-carbon economy, how can engineering innovation help us build smarter, more sustainable systems? Professor Olivier Trescases will explore his work on smart power converters, the brains behind charging systems and battery management. From next-generation materials like gallium nitride to AI-enhanced control systems, his research is driving the future of clean transportation and energy innovation.
Join us on November 12, 2025, at our monthly Skule™ Lunch & Learn.
