On January 17, 2025, Ph.D. Student Selin Bagci successfully defended her doctoral dissertation on “Flexible Solar Energy Harvesting and Fabric-Based Circuits: A Framework for Wearable Power Electronics.” The group picture from the doctoral defense is pictured below.

Throughout her graduate studies, Selin (soon to be Dr. Bagci) has become an expert on designing, developing, and evaluating power electronics for wearable applications with a particular focus on solar photovoltaic energy harvesting and circuit implementation on fabric substrates. She has authored/co-authored many academic papers on these topics, which can be found on the Publications page.
