This award, worth 1,000 euros, is presented to up-and-coming young researchers from academia who are under 30 years of age. \u201cThere were a total of 600 paper submissions to PCIM this year, which makes Mr. Alaluss\u2019s achievement stand out even more,\u201d said Basler.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Alaluss\u2019s paper, \u201cNovel Test Concept for Active Short-Circuit Characterization,\u201d focuses on a novel test concept for the active short-circuiting of power semiconductors, which can occur, for example, in the event of a fault in electric vehicles. \u201cThe paper provides important insights into the characterization of power semiconductors at their limits and opens up new perspectives for the further development of robust power semiconductors,\u201d says Basler.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"\">Contact&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>Prof. Dr. Thomas Basler<br \/>Phone: 0371 531-37843<br \/>Email: thomas.basler@etit.tu-chemnitz.de.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211; &#8211;<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\">Further Links<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tu-chemnitz.de\" target=\"_blank\">\ud83d\udc49 www.tu-chemnitz.de<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Photo: Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH \/ Arturo Rivas<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 16, 2026.
