Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Orser is a Distinguished University Teaching Professor and electrical engineer with a decade of industry experience in mixed-signal IC design and power electronics and a longer academic career shaping undergraduate engineering education. He led ASIC developments at IBM and LSI/Broadcom that shipped in over a billion chips and cumulatively supported an aggregate bandwidth exceeding an exabyte per second, then translated that systems-level expertise into hands-on, project-based curriculum and labs. A Horace T. Morse award recipient, he rebuilds core ECE courses and first-year programs to emphasize experiential, flipped-classroom learning from high school through graduate levels. His work in power systems includes experimental converter development and advising MISO and PNNL on HVDC macro-grid modeling and economic studies, showing a rare blend of device-level design and large-scale grid strategy. Based in Minneapolis, he leverages deep industry ties and layered resources to increase the pipeline of practicing scientists and engineers in Minnesota and beyond.
