Mohamed Badawy

Mohamed Badawy is an Assistant Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at San José State University, where he established the Center of Power Electronic Converters (CPEC). He holds a Ph.D. (2016) and M.Sc. (2012) from The University of Akron, and a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Cairo University (2007). Prior to academia, he worked in the power generation industry with PGESCo.

His research focuses on

• Electric Vehicle (EV) power electronics architectures
• Renewable energy systems integration
• High-efficiency power converters
• Battery energy storage systems
• Wireless EV charging

The CPEC lab supports his work on power electronic converters for both academic and industrial applications.

Recent publications (2017–2022) emphasize advanced control strategies for EV systems, photovoltaic energy harvesting, and modular multilevel converters. His work bridges theoretical models with practical implementations in grid-tied systems and hybrid energy storage.

Teaching includes courses on

• Semiconductor Power Electronics (EE-136)
• Automatic Control Theory (EE-231)
• Advanced Power Electronics (EE-238)
• Renewable Energy Systems and Electric Vehicles (EE-239)
