Summary
Wen Cai is a power electronics specialist with a PhD from the University of Texas at Dallas and over a decade of experience designing and applying high-performance power systems across industry and research. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he currently applies his depth electrical expertise at Meta after senior application engineering roles at Monolithic Power Systems and Maxim Integrated. His background spans renewable energy lab leadership, solid-state breaker and thermal modeling work at ABB, and hands-on converter and motor design for hydrogen systems, reflecting both academic rigor and practical product delivery. An active IEEE reviewer across multiple top transactions and conferences, he bridges cutting-edge research and real-world application of Si- and SiC-based power electronics. Notably, Wen combines deep simulation and thermal estimation skills with customer-facing application engineering, enabling rapid translation from prototypes to production-ready solutions. He pairs a persistent, iterative approach to problem-solving (summed up by his GitHub quip) with a track record of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
