He was previously a Staff Systems Engineer at DRS Power and Control Technologies where he worked for 21 years on the development of power conversion equipment for Navy Shipboard Integrated Power Systems, electric propulsion and shipboard compatible variable speed drives. His research focuses on two main areas: (1.) Development of power electronic topologies and systems that are power dense with high input power quality and electromagnetic compatibility in constrained space environment; and (2.) Fault protection methods for microgrids and dc distribution systems to enable resilient, reliable and reduced energy usage power delivery. Dr. Cuzner received his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and B.S. degree from Brigham Young University.
