He holds the first patent on MEGATROL, ABB’s smart power package solution for reliable starts of gas turbines or any synchronous machine and another patent quenching arc faults in excitation systems. In 2008 he became the Head of global Technology and Support for ABB’s Excitation systems and Synchronizing equipment business. Between 2009 and 2015 he was the Vice President global Products and Marketing ABB Excitation systems and Synchronizing equipment and High Power Rectifier business. Starting from 2016 until 2019 he held the Vice President position for Vehicle Integration Engineering business in ABB railway traction. Since April 2019, he is the Vice President of global Product Management in ABB Semiconductors (Lenzburg, Switzerland) now HITACHI ENERGY Semiconductors and a strong supporter of SiC used in power electronics based on his application know how from traction and industrial applications. Tobias is responsible for the global Product Management and Marketing of any Power Semiconductor from Hitachi Energy as well as responsible for BIMOS power semiconductors R&D (Chips and packages, Si and SiC). Tobias Keller is a senior member of IEEE (20127) and co-author of various papers. HITACHI ENERGY Semiconductors is one of the forerunners of SiC in power electronics.

Kevin Hermanns (PE-Systems) is founder and managing director of PE-Systems GmbH. The company PE-Systems is dedicated to design automation for power electronics including automated characterization and device modelling. Before becoming an entrepreneur, he worked as a research associate at the Technical University of Darmstadt in the Power Electronics Department. Kevin is also an active participant in national and international standardization committees (e.g. IEC and CENELEC). The past four years he was the founding chair of the newly formed IEEE Power Electronics Society Technical Committee on Design Methodologies. He is also founding member of Technical Committee on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Applications in Transportation Electrification newly formed by IEEE Transportation Electrification Council (TEC). As such, he sees his role as promoting the use of novel design methodologies. In particular, he focuses on the interaction between design tools and test and measurement techniques.

Andreas Nadler has many years of experience as a hardware engineer in the field of switched-mode power supplies and analogue circuit technology. Since 2015, Mr Nadler has been working as a field application engineer for Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH in the business unit for passive and active components. There he specialises in the design of EMC-compliant power supplies and interfaces, as well as the entire interference suppression of electronic assemblies. He is the co-author of 3 books as well as various application notes on EMC, simulation, WBG and power supply.

Hauke Lutzen studied electrical engineering at the University of Bremen, Germany, and received the M. Sc. degree in 2017. Afterwards, he was a research assistant at the institute for el. drives, power electronics and devices (IALB) of the same university, working on fast transient current measurements in power electronics, in particular, the development of the M-Shunt. After he received the Dr.-Ing. degree in 2025, Hauke Lutzen has been leading the spin-off for commercialisation of the M-Shunt.
