Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Basler

Professor
Chemnitz University of Technology, Chemnitz Power Labs GmbH

Thomas Basler received his Diploma in Electrical Engineering from Chemnitz University of Technology in 2009. His Diploma thesis was on the robustness of power diodes. Between 2009 and 2013 he was a member of the scientific staff at the Chair of Power Electronics and Electromagnetic Compatibility at Chemnitz University of Technology. At the beginning of 2014 he received his PhD. His thesis is about short-circuit and surge-current ruggedness of IGBTs and was supervised by Prof. Dr. Josef Lutz. 2014 he joined Infineon Technologies AG, Neubiberg, Germany, where he worked on the development of SiC MOSFETs, diodes and Si IGBTs. In April 2020, he has taken over the Chair of Power Electronics from Prof. Lutz at TU Chemnitz as a Professor. Further, he is member of the SiC technical committee at the IRPS conference, advisory member in JEDEC task groups for SiC topics, advisory board member of the PCIM conference and co-founder of the Chemnitz Power Labs GmbH. He has contributed to 40 patent applications and is author/co-author of more than 85 publications.
