Hanyu Zhang, a doctoral student in electrical engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology, received both the Best Paper Award and the 2025 Early-Career Best Paper Award at DesignCon 2025 for his research on power integrity in modern electronics.
His paper, “A Parameter Extraction Method for Multi-Phase Buck Converters Based on Nonlinear Least Square Method,” was co-authored by Junhu Joo, Wenchang Huang and Chulsoon Hwang of Missouri S&T, along with Hanfeng Wang, Wei Shen, Zhigang Liang, Lihui Cao and Seungtaek Jeong from Google.
“Receiving this award is a great honor and recognition of my efforts in VRM modeling,” Zhang said. “It validates the impact of my research and inspires me to continue exploring innovative ideas.”
Zhang earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from Southwest University of Science and Technology in China. He is pursuing his Ph.D. at Missouri S&T’s Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory, focusing on power integrity and electromagnetic interference in power electronics systems.
He plans to develop new methodologies to improve system reliability and advance research in power integrity for next-generation technologies.
