I'm a postgraduate student at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. The focus of my current research is to investigate the development of DC-DC power converters for deployment in hostile environments, such as those found in reactor compartments or in space exploration.
The move to these integrated modules will realise substantial savings in volume, which will be required for the ultimate application of these devices in submarines and space probe.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. But you can decide how you're going to live now.
-- Joan Baez

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.
-- James Allen.

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools

From the inspired Friendship poem ' If ' - by Rudyard Kipling

Engineering is the discipline, art and profession of acquiring and applying technical, scientific, and mathematical knowledge to design and implement materials, structures, machines, devices, systems, and processes that safely realize a desired objective or invention.

Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. The field first became an identifiable occupation in the late nineteenth century after commercialization of the electric telegraph and electrical power supply. It now covers a range of subtopics including power, electronics, control systems, signal processing and telecommunications.

Power engineering, also called power systems engineering, is a subfield of engineering that deals with the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power as well as the electrical devices connected to such systems including generators, motors and transformers.

Power electronics is the application of solid-state electronics for the control and conversion of electric power.

DC to DC converter is an electronic circuit which converts a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage level to another. It is a class of power converter.
