Elliott Fix

Originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Elliott graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia with a BS in 2020 and MS in 2022, both in Electrical Engineering. His prior research experience concerned the control and stability of grid-connected power electronics inverters for renewable energy applications and the black start and autonomous control of inverter-based microgrid power systems. With MPlab, he investigates electromagnetic compliance of variable-frequency, soft-switching inverters via simulation and hardware experiments. By eliminating conducted electromagnetic interference before inverters are developed into hardware, his work increases the probability of passing electromagnetic compliance tests the first time and reduces their size.

He would like to find himself one day working for the U.S. Department of Energy or, because he firmly believes that there are not enough scientists or engineers in politics, as a member of the House Representatives or Senate for Pennsylvania.
He enjoys listening to reggaeton, bachata, and punk rock when traveling between New York, Philadelphia, and his hometown.
