Project Keywords Active Components, Passive Components, Cooling Elements

Are you currently looking for research assistants? Yes

Number of Research Assistants Needed 1

Relevant Research Assistant Major(s) Engineering Major

Project Location: On FSU Main Campus

If the project location is off campus, does the research assistant(s) need to provide their own transportation? Innovation Bus to FAMU-FSU Engineering

Please select the choice that most accurately describes your expectations for the research assistant(s): In-person

Approximately how many hours a week would the research assistant(s) need to work? 8

Roughly what time frame do you expect research assistant(s) to work? Flexible schedule (Combination of business and outside of business. TBD between student and research mentor.)

Overall Research Project Description The intention is to design and develop a parametric cryogenic thermal model and a mockup system for thermal management experiments. The objective is to model and experimentally validate thermal behavior in a power electronic system operating at cryogenic temperatures.

Research Tasks A conceptual power electronic system will be designed, consisting of both active and passive components:
• Active Components: MOSFETs, IGBTs, GaNs, Si, SiC, diodes, microcontrollers.
• Passive Components: Capacitors, inductors, resistors, transformers.
• Cooling Elements: Heatsinks, thermal interface materials (TIMs), cryocoolers.

Software Used:
• CAD modeling: SolidWorks / AutoCAD
• Electrical simulation: LTSpice / PLECS
• Thermal analysis: ANSYS Icepak / COMSOL Multiphysics

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Used of computer and critical thinking

Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy is grounded in fostering a respectful and inclusive environment that values open communication and trust. I support mentees in developing skills, confidence, and a growth mindset to achieve their professional goals while advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion by addressing barriers such as imposter syndrome and accessibility challenges. I tailor my approach to the unique needs, strengths, and aspirations of each individual, and I aim to guide mentees toward independence, integrity, and long-term professional success.
