The IEEE PELS Ph.D. Thesis Talk (P3 Talk) competition showcases Ph.D. projects to the power electronics community. This annual award recognizes outstanding graduates who have successfully defended their dissertations and submitted an additional video presentation to the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS). Each year, up to five presenters are selected. Participants are judged based on the achieved outcomes of their work in power electronics, the rigor of their design methodology, net contribution to the progress of the field, and quality of presentation.
