Deepak Chandran Ph.D

Inventor · Engineer · Serial Founder

I build things that don't exist yet — power electronics systems, EV charging infrastructure, and the intellectual property that sits beneath both.


Building at the edge of what's possible

Currently at Emergence Technologies as Chief Innovation Officer, where I built a patented voice-based natural language security system capable of identifying multiple users, detecting distress in real time, and autonomously contacting 9-1-1. The technology is actively licensed across multiple use cases.

As a serial founder, I've spent the past half decade designing AC and DC fast charging systems from 60 to 480 kW and navigating the infrastructure realities of emerging markets globally. The problems aren't the same in each place — the grid topology, the utility structure, the policy environment — and that's what makes it interesting.

I hold a Ph.D and am currently pursuing graduate studies in AI, and legal studies at Cornell. That's not academic accumulation — it's because the next decade of energy technology will be decided as much by software intelligence, policy design, and IP strategy as by electrical engineering.

I work closely with IEEE, SAE, and NENA because standards are where engineering constraints get codified into what's actually deployable.

On LinkedIn

I write regularly on LinkedIn on EV infrastructure, grid challenges, charging policy, and the gap between what governments commit to building and what actually gets built.

The focus is substance over narrative — real numbers, real constraints, real policy. No hype. The energy transition is complicated enough without adding noise to it.
