DESCRIPTION:Estimadas y estimados estudiantes:\n\nLes invitamos a particip
 ar en una charla internacional en Electrónica de Potencia\, en la que con
 taremos con la visita de dos profesores e investigadores internacionales\,
  colaboradores del profesor Javier Pereda.\n\nLa actividad está especialm
 ente dirigida a estudiantes interesados en electrónica de potencia\, cont
 rol avanzado\, semiconductores y oportunidades de investigación de postgr
 ado.\n\nFecha: Jueves 25 de junio Horario: 13:30 – 14:30 hrs. Lugar: Sal
 a B-15 Inscripción: https://indico.ing.puc.cl/event/341/registrations/295
 / La actividad incluye colación.\n\nDurante la sesión\, los profesores i
 nvitados presentarán sus líneas de investigación y compartirán oportun
 idades y experiencias vinculadas al desarrollo de tecnologías avanzadas e
 n electrónica de potencia.\n\nSebastian Neira\, University of Edinburgh\,
  UK.\n\n"Scaling Power Electronics to the MW Range: The Role of SiC and Ga
 N Technologies"\n\nDr. Sebastian Neira is a Lecturer in Electrical Machine
 s and Drives at The University of Edinburgh. He received a dual PhD in Eng
 ineering from Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and the University 
 of Edinburgh\, with a thesis titled "Design of Power Converters with Embed
 ded Energy Storage for Hybrid DC-AC Applications". His research expertise 
 lies within the power electronics field with extensive practical experienc
 e in developing novel power converter topologies and control systems with 
 direct use in electrical machine drives\, renewable energy applications an
 d energy storage systems. A core component of his work is the experimental
  validation of power conversion systems\, with experience testing up to me
 gawatt-scale power ratings. Since 2019\, he has actively participated in c
 ollaborative research projects\, resulting in the publication of 1 patent 
 application and 30 peer-reviewed articles.\n\nRodrigo Cuzmar\, University 
 of New South Wales\, Australia. \n\n"Model Predictive Control Applied to 
 Modular Multilevel Converters"\n\nDr. Rodrigo Cuzmar is an Associate Lectu
 rer and engineering researcher at UNSW Sydney specializing in power electr
 onics and predictive control systems. He holds a Ph.D. from the University
  of Technology Sydney (UTS) and degrees from Pontificia Universidad Catól
 ica de Chile\, balancing academic teaching with advanced research in energ
 y conversion technologies. His specific research focuses on advanced model
 -predictive-control (MPC) strategies for modular multilevel matrix convert
 ers\, aiming to optimize power grid integration and renewable energy syste
