Welcome to my website.
My name is Wen Cai, an application engineer at Maxim Integrated.
I earned the PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Dallas at May 2016, and got M.S. and B.S. degree from Huazhong Univ of Sci and Tech at 2013 and 2010, respectively. My major is power electronics and motor drives.
This website includes my work experience, academical research and previous achievements. I look forward to sharing the details of my work and experience with all friends. In addition, any technical problems about power electronics are always welcome. Please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your attention.
