Dr. Chanakya Hingu | Ph.D., Electrical and Biomedical Engineering, University of Nevada, Reno | R&D Engineer, Phase Technologies
My research translates algorithms into reliable silicon and firmware for power-electronic and embedded platforms. I combine FPGA/DSP architectures, learning-enhanced control, and VLSI design to build end-to-end prototypes—from modeling to hardware-in-the-loop to fieldable implementations—advancing energy efficiency, robustness, and real-time performance in converters, motor drives, and industrial power-quality systems.
Present Work
Phase Technologies: FFT-based harmonic characterization and mitigation integrated with hysteresis control; optimized dq-frame PI control for three-phase motor loads; neural augmentation of dq control under non-ideal conditions; fully FPGA-based dq control pipeline with sub-millisecond latency.
