Quality in Building the Future of Power Distribution with Mehrdad Baghaie Yazdi

In this episode, Ferdinand Bennigsen sits down with Mehrdad Baghaie Yazdi, Vice President of Systems, Applications and Solutions at Infineon, the world's leading power semiconductor company. Mehrdad leads a team of about 50 people who imagine the future of electrical systems, from EV chargers to battery storage to AI data centers, then work backwards to build the power electronics that future will need. Doing that well takes two skills that rarely go together: deep first-principles scientific thinking and sharp commercial sense. Mehrdad traces his path from scientist to builder, shares the principles he picked up along the way, and gives a clear view of the industrial transformation now underway.
