Slobodan Ćuk (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [tʃuk]) is a Serbian author, inventor, business owner, electrical engineer, and professor of electrical engineering at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). [1] [2] The Ćuk switched-mode DC-to-DC voltage converter is named after him.
Biography
For over 20 years, he was a full-time Professor of Electrical Engineering at the California Institute of Technology until January 1, 2000. [3]
In 1979, Slobodan founded TESLAco, located in Laguna Niguel, California. [1] [4] It had a charter to apply basic research results developed at Caltech for practical commercial and military designs. [3]
Over 30 patents have Ćuk's name on them.
Personal life
Slobodan's parents are Milojko and Julijana Ćuk. [5] He speaks American English and Serbian. [1] On February 29, 1972, Slobodan immigrated from Belgrade, Yugoslavia to the United States and was sponsored by NASA. [2]
Slobodan received a Dipl.Ing. from University of Belgrade in 1970, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University in 1974, and a Ph.D. in Power Electronics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1977. [6] [1] [2]
