Praveen Jain’s advancements of power conversion methods have improved the use of power electronics for practical real-life applications, including the space, telecommunications, and computer industries. During the late 1980s, Dr. Jain developed a new class of single-stage ac-to-dc converters for high-frequency distribution systems that provided reduced mass and volume as well as conservation of stored energy on a spacecraft. During the 1990s, Dr. Jain was one of the first to propose using asymmetrical pulse width modulation control for constant frequency operation of resonant converters.
