Academic background
Dr.ir. Gautham Ram is an Assistant professor of electric mobility in the DC systems, Energy conversion and Storage group in the Department of Electrical Sustainable Energy at the Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. His current research focuses on electric vehicles, EV charging, batteries, power electronics and grid integration.
He received his bachelorâs and masterâs in Electrical Engineering from the National Institute of Technology Trichy, India in 2011 and the Delft University of Technology in 2013, respectively. He received his PhD from Delft University in 2018 for the development of a solar-powered V2G electric vehicle charger with smart charging, compatible with CHAdeMO, CCS/COMBO (with PRE Power Developers, ABB and UT Austin). The project was awarded the âMost significant innovation in electric vehiclesâ at the IDTechEx Show 2018 in Berlin and the âBest Tech idea of 2018â by KIJK. From 2017 to 2019, he was a postdoctoral researcher at TU Delft working on research topics related to power converters for EV charging, batteries, smart charging of EVs, trolley busses.
He is involved in many projects at national and EU level concerning electric mobility such as TULIPS, Drive2X, FLOW, FlexEC, FLEXInet. He is the coordinator and a lecturer for Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Electric cars on edX.org with ~210,000 learners from 175 countries.
He is currently the Vice-chair of IEEE Industrial Electronic Society Benelux chapter and an Executive Committee member of the PowerWeb Institute, TU Delft. He is an Associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Transportation Electrification (2020-now), in the steering committee of the ESARS-ITEC conference 2023 and Technical Track chair for ITEC conference (2020-now), PEMC conference (2020-now).
