Deadline: 1st November 2012
The Department of Electrical Engineering invites applications for a PhD position in Electrical Machine Design.
The PhD position is part of the EU FP7 project, “Nanocrystalline Permanent Magnets Based on Hybrid Metal-Ferrites” (NANOPYME).
NANOPYME focuses on development and design of nanocrystalline permanent magnets without rare earth materials. Novel permanent magnets based on both traditional hard ferrites as well as new hard magnetic phases combined with a soft magnetic phase will be designed and processed to achieve high magnetic performance through effective exchange-coupling of the phases. To test and apply these new magnets (NANOPYME magnets) in a real-world application, electrical motor topologies that optimally utilise the characteristics of the NANOPYME magnets will be developed, designed, constructed and tested in an electric bike.
The development direction has a large degree of freedom. It is therefore crucial that the PhD candidate is mature, independent and able to think outside the box.
