AI data centres are digital engines, yet ~30% of energy is wasted as heat in power conversion and distribution. Directly addressing the UK’s Clean Power 2030 and AI Infrastructure priorities, this PhD project pioneers fundamental technologies of Solid-State Transformers to enable highly efficient, reliable, and bi-directional energy flow control. You will develop next-generation power converters for mission-critical applications: from hyperscale AI hubs to MW-scale EV charging and smart grids.
