The National Science Foundation's Directorate for Engineering (NSF ENG, CFDA 47.041) awarded $300,000 to The Leland Stanford Junior University for a collaborative research project titled "Integrated Piezoelectric Resonators: Changing the Paradigm of Power Conversion for Transportation." Awarded on July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2029, this project will deliver fundamental research, validated models, and design methodologies for next-generation power converters that replace traditional magnetic inductors and transformers with microfabricated piezoelectric resonators. The research will establish core design rules connecting resonator material properties and geometry to converter performance metrics—efficiency, stability, and scalability—at megahertz operating frequencies, enabling higher power density and reduced size and weight in power electronics for electrified transportation applications. Beyond the technical deliverables, the project will produce openly accessible educational modules, hands-on research training programs, and public outreach activities designed to advance workforce development in power electronics engineering. The integrated approach—co-designing resonator devices, power-converter topologies, controls, and packaging as a single platform—addresses a critical bottleneck in modern power conversion systems and aims to accelerate deployment of efficient, compact power systems for electric vehicles and emerging electric aircraft applications.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
