About the Award
The IEEE PELS Milan M. Jovanović Award for Power Electronics Emerging Technology recognizes engineers and researchers who have made outstanding technical contributions to one or more emerging research topics in power electronics.
This award is a lasting tribute to Dr. Jovanović’s exemplary and groundbreaking work in the field. For over 40 years, he innovated more efficient ways of supplying electrical energy to information technology devices with smaller sizes and weights, from smartphones to data centers of major Internet companies. He led research teams in developing numerous power supply techniques that are used in hundreds of millions of devices made by manufacturers, enabling further miniaturization of electronics equipment and resulting in enormous cumulative energy savings and electronic-material waste reduction.
