John G. Kassakian is Professor of Electrical Engineering Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the founding President of the IEEE Power Electronics Society, a Fellow of the IEEE, a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, and has taught, conducted research, and consulted in power electronics for over 45 years. David J. Perreault is Ford Professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with over 25 years of experience in power electronics research and teaching. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, and a member of the US National Academy of Engineering. George C. Verghese is Henry Ellis Warren Professor of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with over 40 years of research and teaching experience. He is an MIT MacVicar Faculty Fellow for outstanding contributions to undergraduate education, and a Fellow of the IEEE. Martin F. Schlecht is the founder and CEO of SynQor, a supplier of high-performance power conversion solutions, and prior to that was Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for 15 years. He has over 40 years of research, teaching, and industrial practice in power electronics.

'Principles of Power Electronics was a landmark in power electronics pedagogy when it was first published more than three decades ago. It is thrilling to see how these distinguished authors have not only thoroughly brought the book's core contents up to date, but also expanded its coverage to include several new topics that are increasingly important for students to learn as they prepare to enter this exciting field. Bravo!' Thomas Jahns, University Wisconsin, Madison
