Instructor bio

Prof. Apurv Kumar Yadav

IIT Roorkee

Prof. Apurv Kumar Yadav is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, INDIA. He received the B.Tech degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, INDIA, in 2011, and the M.Tech degree with Distinction in Electronic design and technology (with the final project on high-frequency transformer-isolated grid-connected inverter) and Ph.D. degree (focused on multilevel inverter based induction motor drives) from the Department of Electronic Systems Engineering (formerly CEDT), Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, INDIA, in 2015 and 2018 respectively.

Before joining IIT Roorkee, he worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, USA.

His broad area of research interest includes motor drives with wide-bandgap (WBG) devices, multilevel converters, and wireless power transfer.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.

The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
