Summary
Ao Sun is a System Design Engineer with nine years' experience specializing in medium-voltage power electronics, firmware, and hardware implementation for converters and PV inverter systems. Currently at NVIDIA, Ao applies deep expertise in GPU power system design and validation built on a foundation of thesis-grade work in SiC-based Dual-Active-Bridge converters, DSP/FPGA co-design, and high-efficiency power-circulating tests. He combines hands-on PCB/Altium layout and embedded C/Assembly/Verilog firmware development with practical system-level testing (cHIL/OPAL-RT), and has driven battery storage integration and CC-CV charging controls for high-power systems. Based in San Jose, Ao pairs academic rigor from UT Austin with industry experience at Monolithic Power Systems to deliver robust, high-efficiency power solutions for demanding applications. An underappreciated strength is his end-to-end fluency across control algorithms, FPGA signal interfacing, and power device characterization, enabling rapid translation from prototype to validated hardware.
