ITG Electronics joins AMPED consortium to further magnetic device research

ITG Electronics, a manufacturer of magnetics and EMI filters, is partnering with the University of Pittsburgh Advanced Magnetics for Power and Energy Development (AMPED) consortium. As a new research sponsor, ITG Electronics will support AMPED’s mission to develop an expansive ecosystem and educational programs that drive advancements in soft magnetic materials and component technologies.

The AMPED consortium, based at Pitt’s Swanson School of Engineering, brings together industry leaders, academic institutions, and government agencies to address the pressing need for a next-generation, interdisciplinary workforce, as well as targeted research in magnetic devices such as transformers, inductors, and electric vehicle motors. With global demand for efficient power solutions substantially rising, ITG Electronics recognizes the importance of investing in cutting-edge research and fostering collaboration across sectors.

“Joining AMPED exemplifies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of magnetic component innovation,” said Martin Kuo, managing director at ITG Electronics. “By contributing to AMPED’s research initiatives, we aim to accelerate the development of advanced magnetic solutions that will power the future of electrification and energy efficiency.”

Paul Ohodnicki, associate professor of mechanical engineering and materials science and director of AMPED, added, “ITG Electronics is a global supplier of magnetic components to several critical industries, including electric vehicles and data centers. They bring an important industry perspective to the consortium with expertise in design and manufacturing that will further enrich the AMPED community and provide our students with an opportunity to interact and collaborate. We are excited to welcome them to the consortium and are looking forward to partnering with ITG Electronics into the future.”

AMPED’s collaborative framework spans fundamental science to end-use applications; the organization works in tandem with various agencies, offices and programs to ensure real-world impact. Through this partnership, ITG Electronics will play a key role in shaping the future of power electronics and electromagnetics, helping to further technological breakthroughs in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and industrial automation.
