Tribute to Dr. Middlebrook |
|||||||||
| |||||||||
rofessor R. David Middlebrook passed away on April 16, 2010 short of his 81st birthday. He will be remembered by all of us as the founder of modern Power Electronics and a founder of Caltech's Power Electronics Group, which under his guidance graduated 36 Ph.D.s and hundreds of M.S. and B.S. students, many of whom are now Professors, engineers, and key members of their communities. Professor Middlebrook greatly contributed to development of Power Electronics as an academic discipline through his research and teaching.We all remember his unique teaching style that has earned him accolades worldwide. I had the honor to be at many of his lectures and seminars and witnessed the generations of engineers who greatly benefited from his deep understanding of the Power Electronics and Analog Circuit Design and his ability to transfer that knowledge effectively. His seminal book Introduction to Junction Transistor was his "translation of transistor invention into practical models for engineers". Dr. Middlebrook made broad and lasting impact to the engineering world. He will be sorely missed by all of us who knew him. Dr. Slobodan Cuk |
