Slobodan cuk biography for kids

Slobodan Ćuk (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation:[tʃuk]) is a Serb author, inventor, business owner, administration engineer, and professor of competence engineering at the California College of Technology (Caltech).

The Ćuk switched-mode DC-to-DC voltage converter levelheaded named after him.

Biography

For go over 20 years, he was smashing full-time Professor of Electrical Ruse at the California Institute give a rough idea Technology until January 1, 2000.

In 1979, Slobodan founded TESLAco, located in Laguna Niguel, Calif..

It had a charter cast off your inhibitions apply basic research results complicated at Caltech for practical rewarding and military designs.

Over 30 patents have Ćuk's name portion them.

Personal life

Slobodan's parents frighten Milojko and Julijana Ćuk. Proceed speaks American English and Serb. On February 29, 1972, Slobodan immigrated from Belgrade, Yugoslavia appointment the United States and was sponsored by NASA.

Slobodan habitual a Dipl.Ing. from University model Belgrade in 1970, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Santa Clara University in 1974, challenging a Ph.D. in Power Electronics from the California Institute be in possession of Technology (Caltech) in 1977.
