About Me
Energizing the Future: Passionate Electrical Engineer
Hi, I’m Venkata Nagasai Akhil Gaddenaboina, a passionate electrical engineer currently pursuing my Master of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), graduating in December 2025.
My core interests lie in power electronics, PCB design, and thermal simulation — where electrical theory meets real-world performance. I specialize in designing and analyzing efficient circuits, optimizing layouts for thermal reliability, and bridging simulation with practical implementation. I enjoy working at the intersection of electrical precision and innovative design.
Currently, I’m working on my master’s thesis titled “Thermal Modeling of Power Converters”, where I use COMSOL Multiphysics and Altium Designer to simulate trace-level heat distribution on multilayer PCBs. My goal is to enhance the thermal performance of converter circuits used in industrial and automotive systems.
I have strong experience with:
Simulation & Design Tools: LTSpice, COMSOL, Altium, AutoCAD Electrical
Control & Automation Basics: Ladder logic, Arduino, Python, MATLAB/Simulink
Core Domains: Power systems, PCB layout, fault protection, embedded logic
I am open to relocation and always excited to collaborate with teams building sustainable, high-performance electrical systems. Whether it’s developing converter hardware, simulating system behavior, or troubleshooting control logic — I bring a grounded, design-driven approach to every challenge.
Let’s connect and bring smart engineering to life.

My Projects
Thermal Modeling of Power Converters (Master’s Thesis- ongoing)
Developed detailed electro-thermal simulations for power converter PCBs using COMSOL Multiphysics, focusing on steadystate and transient temperature response across multi-layer boards. Integrated Altium Designer layout exports into COMSOL to visualize trace-level heat dissipation and identify hotspots, using parametric sweeps over power densities, copper thicknesses, and ambient airflow rates. Recommended copper trace optimization, heat sink material selection, and thermal pad integration for improving the thermal efficiency of automotive-grade and industrial DC-DC converters.
Performance Analysis of PMSMs for Electric Vehicle Applications
Conducted design evaluation of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) and Tesla-inspired Permanent Magnet Synchronous Reluctance Motors (PMSRMs) for EV traction applications. Simulated electromagnetic torque, back-EMF, loss mapping, and thermal characteristics in MATLAB/Simulink for various drive cycles including NEDC and WLTP. Proposed improved rotor topologies and vector control strategies to reduce cogging torque, enhance regenerative braking recovery, and improve power factor across dynamic load profiles.
IoT-Based Home Automation using NodeMCU
Engineered a home automation system using ESP8266 (NodeMCU), allowing remote device control and real-time feedback via Google Assistant integration and Blynk dashboard. • Implemented MQTT protocol for seamless device-to-cloud messaging and established event-driven control logic for occupancybased lighting and appliance automation. Employed temperature, PIR, and humidity sensors with solid-state relay switching, developing a low-cost smart IoT solution aligned with energy-saving and smart infrastructure goals.
