short cv

Vladan Ž. Lazarević (S’17) was born in in Bijeljina, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, in 1992. He received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia, in 2015 and the M.Sc. degree in industrial electronics from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Madrid, Spain, in 2016.

Since 2015, he has been with the Center of Industrial Electronics (CEI), UPM, where he is currently working toward his PhD dissertation. His current research interests include design, optimization and digital control of fast, highly efficient and compact power amplifiers for industrial applications, based on GaN wide bandgap semiconductor technology, and design of envelope tracking power converters for RF applications.
