Dr Ibrahima Ka received a double engineering degree from Ecole Centrale Lyon and Ecole Supérieure Polytechnique, Dakar in 2014. He then began pursuing his PhD degree at Université Grenoble Alpes, France the same year. His thesis focuses on online temperature measurements of power semiconductor devices using thermosensitive electrical parameters. His work is part of the health monitoring of power semiconductor modules in photovoltaic inverters (MEMPHIS) project supported by the French National Research Agency. His research interest includes instrumentation of power components thanks to microelectronic processes.
In 2017, Dr Ibrahima KA was appointed as teaching and research assistant in Laboratoire Ampère of Lyon. He joined the Dakar American University of Science and Technology (DAUST) in 2018 as an assistant Professor. Dr KA is currently an associate Professor in the Electromechanical department of Ecole Polytechnique of Thies.Publications

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
“You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. Besides, it took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen.”
“Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity.”
