معرفی
Charles R. Sullivan is the Sue and John Ballard '55 TT'56 Professor of Engineering and Director of the Power Management Integration Center (PMIC) at Dartmouth College's Thayer School of Engineering. His research focuses on power electronics, electromagnetic design, and energy efficiency innovations, with particular emphasis on micro-fabricated magnetic components and nanocomposite materials.
Education: BS in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University (1987), PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences from UC Berkeley (1996).
Research interests include advancing high-frequency power components, wireless power transfer systems, and energy-efficient technologies. Sullivan co-founded Resonant Link, a startup developing wireless charging solutions for medical implants and consumer electronics.
Award highlights include Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (2022), IEEE Technical Achievement Award (2018), and National Science Foundation CAREER Award (1999). He has authored over 20 patents and pioneered innovations such as low-impedance test fixtures and coupled inductor designs for power converters.
Administratively, Sullivan leads the PMIC, fostering collaborations between academia and industry to advance power electronics. He teaches courses like ENGS 173 (Energy Utilization) and ENGG 199.03 (High-Frequency Magnetics Design), integrating research with education.
Current projects include developing self-resonant wireless power systems and evaluating emerging passive component technologies. Sullivan's work bridges theoretical research with practical applications, aiming to miniaturize and enhance efficiency in power electronics systems globally.
