Dr. Swaminathan Narayanaswamy

I am a senior researcher at the Technical University of Munich. My research areas mainly focus on the following topics - Electric Vehicles - Electrical Energy Storage Systems - Battery Management Systems - Battery state estimation and health longevity - Algorithms for battery health management and capacity maximization - High power DC-DC converters for On-board chargers, battery charging and active cell balancing - Embedded HW/SW development - Modeling and control of power converters

I have developed concepts for decentralized electricity metering using IoT

I have developed concepts and techniques for improving the safety and driving range of EVs at the same time minimizing the cost. My research work involves the following topics: - Decentralized BMS development - DC-DC converters for battery charge equalization - Battery cell testing and characterization - Battery modeling for rapid simulation - Analytical models of DC-DC power converters - PCB design of low-power and high-power electronic circuits - Laboratory characterization of power converters

I have developed multiple modular power converter architecture for improving the driving range of EVs.

IEC 61508 functional safety engineer

My research work is focused on developing modular and scalable battery systems for EVs that enable plug-and-play integration. I have proposed a decentralized BMS architecture enabling high-level of scalability and improving the safety of a high power battery pack. I have also proposed power electronic circuits for improving the driving range of EVs. I have developed and validated multi-layered PCBs implementing the BMSs and power electronic circuits.
