he AMPED consortium and UPITT's Swanson School of Engineering will host a PSMA sponsored Power Magnetics at High Frequency satellite workshop on Tuesday August 18, 2027 at the Energy Innovation Center in Pittsburgh PA.

The workshop will build on the established reputation and follows the single-track format of the Annual pre-APEC Power Magnetics at High Frequency Workshop.

The theme of the morning session will be advanced magnetic materials and their application. The theme of the afternoon session will be EMI/EMC applications. There will be an opportunity for interactive discussions with experts presenting technology demonstrations and posters from both industry and research organizations. The technology demonstration presentations and posters will be available during the morning and afternoon breaks, the lunch session, and the networking hour at the end of the workshop.

Attendees of the satellite workshop will receive complementary access to the annual AMPED industry workshop in the same venue and on August 19, the day following the satellite event. Registration is recommended as soon as possible, as complimentary access is limited and subject to availability.

Registration for the workshop opened in May. This site also contains the preliminary agenda and updates for the workshop.

A unique aspect of the workshop developed by the PSMA Magnetics Committee is the combination of technical presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and poster sessions. These sessions allow participants to explore new measurement techniques, simulation tools, materials, and design approaches while engaging directly with experts developing the next generation of magnetics technologies.

The AMPED Consortium builds on Pittsburgh's legacy in the electric power industry, including the original headquarters of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation, a pioneer of the electric power grid. Today, the Pittsburgh region and Pennsylvania remain pre-eminent within the area of electric power conversion and grid technologies, spanning from enabling soft magnetic materials to distribution and power transformer manufacturers, and ultimately the utilities and end-users that deploy them. Ongoing collaborations between in-state manufacturers and research institutions such as the University of Pittsburgh are driving rapid innovation and expanding Pennsylvania's influence in the magnetic materials and components industries.
