Haoquan (Tony) Zhang

I am currently a senior hardware engineer at Google, working on wireless charging technologies for consumer electronic devices (Pixel phones and ecosystem), delivering better reliability, charging performance, and user satisfaction. Before joining Google, I obtained my Ph.D. from MIT in power electronics, advised by professor David J. Perreault . I have extensive hands-on experience modeling, designing and validating high-efficiency dc-dc, dc-ac converters across diverse applications from milli-watts to kilo-watts. To name a few: on-chip photovoltaic energy harvesting, Qi wireless charging, and rf plasma generation. My work has earned recognition through publications at top-tier journals and conferences (e.g., TPEL, APEC, ECCE), multiple best presentation awards, and two granted US patents.
