Layi Alatise is currently a Professor and Royal Society Industry Fellow in Power Electronics at the University of Warwick. He received the B.Eng. (first class Hons.) degree in electrical/electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in microelectronics and semiconductors from Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, U.K., in 2005 and 2008, respectively. In 2004 and 2005, he joined ATMEL North Tyneside where he worked on the process integration of the 130-nm CMOS technology node. In June 2008, he joined the Innovation R&D Department, NXP Semiconductors, as Development Engineer where he designed, processed, and qualified discrete power trench MOSFETs for automotive applications and switched-mode power supplies. In November 2010, he joined the University of Warwick as Science City Research Fellow to investigate advanced power semiconductor materials and devices for improved energy conversion efficiency. Since February 2019, he has been a Professor in Electrical Engineering with the University of Warwick, Coventry, U.K. He has led several EPSRC projects in Power Electronics and is currently working on an APC Project with BMW for the development of automotive powertrains based on Silicon Carbide traction inverters. He was a recipient of the 2021 best paper award in the IEEE Transactions in Industrial Electronics. He has the authored or co-authored more than 100 publications in journals and international conferences. Prof. Alatise is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics, a Chattered Engineer and a Senior member of the IEEE.
