Enagnon Appolinaire DANTONDJI

I hold Bachelor's and Master’s degrees in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from the University of Pamukkale (Denizli, Turkey) and Polytechnic University of Bialystok (Bialystok, Poland) thanks to the Erasmus+ program. I am currently pursuing my studies at École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay - Université de Paris-Saclay (Paris/France) with a focus on Advanced Power Electronics Systems.

During my stay at the University of Pamukkale, at the end of my bachelor’s degree, I worked on the Design of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor for Electric Vehicles which has been used in the competitions of Electromobile Efficiency Challenge Electric Vehicle organized by the Scientific and Technological Research Institution of Turkey. Along with my master's degree, I have designed GaN-based High-Efficiency High-Power Density On-board Chargers used in Electric Vehicles. This work earned me a place in several companies such as Senkron Ar-Ge Mühendislik - as an R&D engineer; Aketroniks Electronic Systems - as an electronics engineer and electronic components purchasing specialist, and recently OMA Omer Atiker Holding - as an R&D engineer. Besides, I had the opportunity to collaborate with other internal and external experts in the field, allowing me to improve my communication and interpersonal skills.

Thanks to these experiences in both academic and industrial areas I was able to understand the current challenges in the field of power electronics systems from the need to develop new advanced semiconductor technologies to modularize complex power circuits. Deepening my knowledge in the area of advanced power electronics systems was my motivation to enrol in the master of science program at the Ecole Normale Superieure Paris-Saclay - University of Paris-Saclay. This program provided me with solid theoretical and practical knowledge not only in the power electronics field but also in electrical machine control systems.
