Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLorna Lan is a power electronics and systems engineer with eight years of hands-on experience designing and testing high-voltage converters, novel solid-state transformer topologies, and control systems for EV charging and satellite applications. As a co-founder of Narwatt Energy and an electrical engineer at VertiGrow, she blends startup grit with rigorous academic research—her MASc work produced a published MMC-based SST topology that halves module count and introduced a modulation technique enabling high-frequency isolation. She pairs board- and system-level hardware skills (Altium, LTSpice, kilowatt motor labs) with firmware and control coding in C and MATLAB, and has practical experience in high-voltage lab bring-up and safety testing. An enthusiast of electronics, space, and cybersecurity, she also runs self-hosted home labs and explores robot-building and security analysis in her spare time, bringing a cross-disciplinary perspective to energy systems challenges.
