DR. AMADOR PÉREZ
SHOWCASES SAFEPOWER RESEARCH
AT CDE 2025
We are pleased to share that Dr. Amador Pérez-Tomás, senior researcher at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM-CSIC) and key contributor to the Safepower project, participated as an invited speaker at the Spanish Conference on Electron Devices (CDE 2025), held in Málaga on January 28–29.
In his talk, titled “Wide and Ultrawide Bandgap Semiconductors: There Also is Plenty of Room at the Wide Side,” Dr. Pérez highlighted the critical role of wide and ultrawide bandgap (WBG/UWBG) semiconductors—such as SiC, GaN, and Ga₂O₃—in the future of sustainable power electronics.
These materials are emerging as key enablers of the green and digital transition, thanks to their ability to deliver:
✅superior energy efficiency,
✅high-temperature performance,
✅voltage handling capabilities.
The presentation also underscored the alignment of this research with the core objectives of the Safepower project. As part of this Horizon Europe initiative, Dr. Pérez and his team are advancing innovative solutions to improve the safety, reliability, and sustainability of WBG-based power technologies. His work contributes directly to the project’s mission of accelerating the deployment of next-generation energy systems for applications in renewable energy, electric mobility, and industrial power conversion.
Dr. Pérez’s participation at CDE 2025 marks an important step in disseminating Safepower’s scientific progress to the broader research and industrial community.
