OverviewAI-generated summary

H. Alan Mantooth's research focuses on power electronics, with a particular emphasis on silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor technologies and their application in cyber-physical systems. He has investigated challenges and solutions related to the parallel connection of silicon carbide MOSFETs and developed datasheet-driven compact models for these devices, including their third-quadrant behavior. Mantooth's work also extends to the design and control of inverters, including high-efficiency, low-cost ANPC inverters utilizing hybrid Si/SiC switches. He has explored cyber-resilient smart inverters based on practical attack models and examined the architectural design and system compatibility of power modules.

Mantooth leads a research group and has secured significant federal funding, including a $17.8 million NSF grant for the Implementation of a National Silicon Carbide Research Fabrication Facility, where he serves as PI. He is also a Co-PI on an NSF grant for the Center for Infrastructure Trustworthiness in Energy Systems (CITES). His research network includes collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Md Maksudul Hossain and Yue Zhao. With a publication record of over 510 papers, an h-index of 45, and over 8,800 citations, Mantooth is recognized as a highly cited researcher in his field.
