Rate My Professor Ayan Mallik

Ayan Mallik is an Associate Professor of Engineering in The Polytechnic School at Arizona State University, located on the Polytechnic campus. Since joining ASU in 2019 as an Assistant Professor, he has been promoted to Associate Professor and serves as graduate faculty in the Electrical Engineering program at the School of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering, the Clean Energy Systems program at The Polytechnic School, and the Systems Engineering program at the School of Manufacturing Systems and Networks. He earned his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Dr. Mallik's research focuses on power electronics, including modeling and control of complex multi-order power converters, switching modulator optimization, multi-objective design optimization of power electronics systems, and highly efficient high-density wide bandgap power conversion solutions for clean energy applications such as transportation electrification, space power systems, grid-integration of renewables, and energy storage. He has authored or co-authored over 110 peer-reviewed publications and holds six pending or issued U.S. patents. Key publications include "Comprehensive review & impact analysis of integrating projected electric vehicle charging load to the existing low voltage distribution system" (Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2022), "Bi-directional CLLC converter with synchronous rectification for plug-in electric vehicles" (IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 2017), "Design of a 1-MHz high-efficiency high-power-density bidirectional GaN-based CLLC converter for electric vehicles" (IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, 2018), and "Multivariable-modulation-based conduction loss minimization in a triple-active-bridge converter" (IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2022).

An IEEE Senior Member (SM’22), Dr. Mallik serves as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology and has previously edited for IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Power Electronics and IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. His awards include the NSF CAREER Award (2023, $500,000 over five years) for electromagnetic interference research in wide bandgap power electronics, grants from NASA, DoD, ONR, DOE, and industry, ASU Fulton Schools Top 5% Teaching Awards (2023, 2024, 2025), IEEE TPEL Prize Paper Award (2023), UMD Dean’s Doctoral Dissertation Award (2019), UMD Invention of the Year (2018), and multiple IEEE conference best paper awards.
