Veteran writer and editor, Ashok Bindra, brings with him more than 20 years of editorial experience covering analog, power devices, and DSP technologies. Bindra was appointed editor-in-chief of Power Electronics Technology magazine in February 2003. Prior to Power Electronics Technology, he served as Technology Editor at Penton Media’s Electronic Design, where for more than four years he covered similar beats including RF power transistors and power amplifiers, as well as integrated high-speed data converters for digital receivers. Before joining Electronic Design, Bindra spent more than 13 years as a senior technical editor at CMP’s EE Times, writing special reports and organizing special series in these specialized areas. Bindra broke into this profession as a components editor at McGraw-Hill’s Electronics magazine, after a short stint in the industry as an electronics engineer developing RF components for communications applications. "I am thrilled to be working in an area that is exciting and challenging and am honored to be part of a design magazine that has served its industry effectively for more than 20 years,” said Bindra. Bindra holds an M.S. Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1976 from Clarkson College of Technology, Potsdam, N.Y. and a Master’s Degree in Physics from the University of Bombay, India. From mid-1970 to Aug.'75, Bindra worked as a scientific assistant in the Microwave group of TIFR in Bombay, where he was involved in the development and testing of microwave solid-state components implemented in transmit/receive system. He went to Clarkson College of Technology in Potsdam, NY in the fall semester of 1975. Bindra has been involved in organizing educational analog/power workshops for engineers and has organized panel sessions and technology forums at conferences like ICSPAT/DSP World Expo, Electro, and PowerSystems World.
