Prof. Dragan Maksimović 

received his B.S. (1984) and M.S. (1986) degrees from the University of Belgrade (Serbia), and his Ph.D. degree from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, in 1989. In 1992, he joined the University of Colorado at Boulder where he is currently a Charles V. Schelke Distinguished Professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering. In 1998, with , he co-founded the Colorado Power Electronics Center (CoPEC) and has been serving as the CoPEC Co-Director. CoPEC research program in smart power electronics and digital control for high-frequency switched-mode power converters has attracted significant support from numerous industrial sponsors and agencies (NSF, DARPA, ARPA-E, DOE, ONR, DOEd). Prof. Maksimović is also affiliated with the University of Colorado Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute ().

Prof. Maksimović is a Fellow of the IEEE and recipient of the and the . He has published over 300  in journals and at professional conferences and holds over 30 US patents. He co-authored the textbook , 3rd edition, Springer 2020, and the textbook , Wiley-IEEE Press 2015. Furthermore, he received the NSF CAREER Award in 1997, IEEE Power Electronics Society Transactions Prize Paper Award in 1997, IEEE Power Electronics Society Prize Letter Awards in 2009 and 2010, CU Boulder Inventor of the Year Award in 2006, the  Modeling and Control Technical Achievement Award for 2012, Bruce Holland Excellence in Teaching Awards in 2004, 2011 and 2018, Charles Hutchinson Memorial Teaching Award for 2012, the 2013 Boulder Faculty Assembly Excellence in Teaching Award, and the 2020 College of Engineering Research Award. He served as an IEEE PELS Distinguished Lecturer from 2011-2017 and as the General Chair of IEEE COMPEL 2010. Prof. Maksimović has served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics () and as an Editor for the IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics ().

Prof. Maksimović's current research interests include power electronics for renewable energy sources and energy efficiency, high-frequency power conversion using wide bandgap semiconductors, digital control of switched-mode power converters, as well as integrated circuits for power management applications.
