I previously held positions as of Chair of the Graduates of the Last Decade (2010-2012), {GOLD, became Young Professionals}, co-Chair of Membership (2012-2014), elected Member at Large (2015-2017), Technical Program Chair for ECCE 2016, and I am currently the Chair of Mentorship (since 2017). I have attended most PELS administrative committee meetings since 2010 as well as strategic long term planning meetings. In my current volunteer role, I initiated the Mentorship RoundTable, which provides small-group mentoring on life and career topics at major PELS-sponsored conferences. I am passionate about this because I when I joined IEEE as an undergraduate student, I did not fully appreciate the impact that IEEE and PELS could have on my career. I am proud when I help PELS members who are knowledgeable and accomplished connect and mentor members who are at an earlier stage in their career and life. I am deeply appreciative of those who have served as mentors or attended a PELS Mentorship RoundTables event.</p><p>If elected I will seek to expand PELS mentorship worldwide. I will also pursue creating additional awards to recognize our mid-career members and encourage them to seek elevation to senior member. I once heard a phrase, “when you get to the top, send the elevator back down.” I’m nowhere near the top, but I give importance to helping those following behind me fulfil their potential, as my mentors have done for me.</p> </div> </div> </div> </details> <details id="e-n-accordion-item-1712" class="e-n-accordion-item" > <summary class="e-n-accordion-item-title" data-accordion-index="3" tabindex="-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="e-n-accordion-item-1712" > <span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class="e-n-accordion-item-title-text"> Luiz Henrique Silva Colado Barreto </div></span> <span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'> <span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span> <span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span> </span> </summary> <div data-particle_enable="false" data-particle-mobile-disabled="false" role="region" aria-labelledby="e-n-accordion-item-1712" class="elementor-element elementor-element-afc1401 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="afc1401" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-bf6d3c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="bf6d3c7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-45874 size-medium" src="https://www.ieee-pels.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/LuizBarreto-1-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" srcset="https://www.ieee-pels.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/LuizBarreto-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https://www.ieee-pels.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/LuizBarreto-1.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>LUIZ HENRIQUE SILVA COLADO BARRETO</strong>, received the PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Uberlândia in 2003 .

I have organized IEEE conferences, the most notable being the General Chair of the 2021 Southern Power Electronics conference. This experience has given me a good understanding of the PELS Governance, operational rules, structure and the strategic goals. Since my arrival in Kigali, Rwanda, in 2018, I realized that the awareness of power electronics technology and its benefits is minimal in Africa, which has also been recognized by PELS. My vision is to enhance the awareness of power electronics technology and it benefits to the economy of Africa through concrete actions and provide IEEE-PELS services to the African power electronics community and engage them in the conferences, operation, and education activities of PELS. This work has already started; three seminars funded by GCRF and GIZ and PELS sponsored 2021 SPEC conference have already been held. A survey on Power Electronics activities in Africa is ongoing. An IEEE student branch at CMU Africa has been established. An E-mobility lab supported by GIZ, Kabiza, VW Rwanda, and CMU has been set up. There is scope for improving the involvement of PELS in Africa, for example, there are only four PELS Chapters in Africa. As a member-at-large based in Rwanda I can contribute to the African Voice at the PELS leading to the enhancement of PELS activities in Africa.</p><p style="font-weight: 400;">I look forward to serving in the ADCOM as a member at large.</p> </div> </div> </div> </details> <details id="e-n-accordion-item-17111" class="e-n-accordion-item" > <summary class="e-n-accordion-item-title" data-accordion-index="12" tabindex="-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="e-n-accordion-item-17111" > <span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class="e-n-accordion-item-title-text"> Padmanaban Sanjeevikumar </div></span> <span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'> <span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span> <span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus" viewBox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span> </span> </summary> <div data-particle_enable="false" data-particle-mobile-disabled="false" role="region" aria-labelledby="e-n-accordion-item-17111" class="elementor-element elementor-element-2e543ee e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" data-id="2e543ee" data-element_type="container"> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-3b52a32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="3b52a32" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-46213 size-full" src="https://www.ieee-pels.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Screenshot-6.png" alt="" width="286" height="283" /></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>PADMANABAN SANJEEVIKUMAR</strong> received his bachelor’s from Madras University (2002), a master’s from Pondicherry University (2006), India, and a PhD from the University of Bologna, Italy (2012), all in electrical engineering.

PELS is special within the IEEE because most of its membership involved have a higher mission/purpose in driving a more efficient and sustainable future in a technology stakeholder space that has (and always will) sit at the heart of all electronic/electrical systems. If elected, then I shall be sure to use my vote to implement member feedback that comes from perpetual survey of colleagues/industry to ensure equitable representation. As Chair of the new Sustainability Ad-hoc Committee, I believe strongly in our duty to bring awareness to embodied energy/carbon footprints and propose practical solutions in terms of life cycle analyses and best practices. I shall use any leadership position within PELS to drive a vote, but more importantly ACTION, to integrate sensible recommendations and carbon-reducing, strategic thinking into everything PELS touches, from converters to supply chain to events we support for our membership. I love bringing an industrial perspective to the landscape and aspire to bridge the gap with academia to attract more industrial volunteers into PELS activities and leadership roles. Working together with so many academics in PELS has really enhanced my ability to understand their perspectives and apply that learning to challenges in industry and professional societies to make a tangible difference in the world.</p> </div> </div> </div> </details> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div data-particle_enable="false" data-particle-mobile-disabled="false"
