Infineon Austria and the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering of theUniversity of Zagreb have initiated academic cooperation in the field of power electronics. The collaboration will promote the further development of energy-efficient technologies for decarbonization and strengthen one of the key areas of European microelectronics expertise.

Cooperation focuses on research and development of microelectronic solutions that systematically reduce energy consumption, as well as training for these research fields. These include, for example, electromobility or energy-efficient power generation, transmission and use. The duration of this academic cooperation is initially set at six years. Željko Jakopović has been appointed to lead the project, and the collaboration is part of Infineon Austria's spillover activities within the IPCEI ME project.

"Concrete scientific and technological solutions in power electronics can contribute significantly to achieving climate goals. To do this, expertise in university research and teaching must be even more closely intertwined with existing industrial expertise, and that is exactly what we are doing. We call it "Future Mission," and we are pleased to collaborate here with the Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Zagreb and actively promote together Europe's strengths as a semiconductor location. This is a unique opportunity for young researchers to work in a very attractive technical career field, making our world a safer and more environmentally friendly place," said Sabine Herlitschka, managing director of Infineon Technologies Austria.

"We are excited about the opportunity to strengthen our collaboration with Infineon, a global leader and one of Europe's leading electronics companies. This cooperation is a testament to the quality and potential of RES in the area of research and development of power electronics systems, as well as to our attractiveness to exceptional young talent. I am sure that this cooperation will be mutually beneficial and that together we will create new opportunities," says RES Dean Vedran Bilas.

"I am confident that this academic collaboration project between Infineon and RES will significantly expand the expertise of the Power Electronics Group and other RES departments, both in the area of scientific research and teaching. The expected involvement of eminent experts from Infineon in the teaching process through lectures and workshops will provide our students and researchers with direct access to the latest technological achievements in the field of microelectronics, power semiconductor components and related applications," said Professor Željko Jakopović.

Within academic cooperation, the focus is on solutions for energy-efficient applications. These include the development of theoretical concepts for the stability of power grids, research work in the field of electromobility, and the maximization of energy savings with intelligent control systems, such as through algorithms, artificial intelligence, or machine learning. In addition, design and test methods are developed for analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits for power electronics applications.
