معرفی
Robert Stala is a Professor at the Department of Power Electronics and Automation of Energy Conversion Systems, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Automatics, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków, Poland. He serves on the Senate and other collegial bodies of the university including the Discipline Council for Automation, Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Space Technologies and Senate Committee on Statutes and Regulations.
His research focuses on power electronics, particularly DC-DC converters, inverters, and energy conversion systems. Key interests include voltage stress reduction, loss minimization, switched-capacitor topologies, resonant converters, and multilevel inverter systems. He actively investigates the application of GaN and SiC semiconductors for high-efficiency and high-frequency operation in power conversion.
Recent publications (2022-2025) reveal strong emphasis on modular DC-DC converter architectures for 48V-to-1V conversion in data centers and 400V-to-48V in telecommunications infrastructure. Trends include parallel converter configurations, natural voltage balancing techniques in multilevel systems, and thermal management optimization. His work consistently addresses conduction/switching loss reduction through innovative circuit topologies and wide-bandgap semiconductor integration.
Professor Stala is affiliated with the Power Electronics Laboratory (PEL) at AGH University (http://www.pelab.agh.edu.pl), where experimental validation of his theoretical models occurs.
