Alexander Isurin received an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Electrical Communication in St. Petersburg, Russia. His design experience includes electronic welding devices, charging for electric vehicles, and custom industrial power supplies at high power levels. He is the author of numerous patents for power conversion topologies, control of power conversion hardware, and semiconductor gate drive design strategies. His technology is implemented into automotive applications that remain in production. His current research interests include high-frequency power conversion using soft switch technology with an emphasis on cost-effectiveness and high efficiency. Mr. Isurin is an active member of IEEE.

Mark J. Scott received his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from The Ohio State University. His work experience includes validating power electronics for automotive applications, as well as developing and installing industrial automation systems. He is an associate professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Dr. Scott researches the design trade-offs of using silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power devices in electrified transportation. He studies methods to measure and mitigate electromagnetic interference and explores prognostic and health management techniques for power conversion hardware. Dr. Scott is an active member of IEEE.
