Postdoctoral Research Fellow / Doctoral Researcher (Magnetic Materials, Numerical Electromagnetics, Power Electronics) at Tampere University

The research group of Electromechanics in the unit of Electrical Engineering at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences at Tampere University focuses on numerical electromagnetics and magnetic materials. We work at the interface of electromagnetic theory, computational science, physics of magnetic materials and electrical engineering applications of practical importance. Our vision is to integrate advanced electromagnetic modeling tools together with practical design of electromagnetic energy conversion devices, such as electrical machines, transformers, inductors and energy harvesters.

The work will be divided and adjusted for the 3-4 researchers based on their interests and backgrounds. Possible research topics include:

Development of homogenized finite element (FE) models for ferrite cores considering the realistic microstructure.
Coupling micromagnetic simulations to electromagnetic FE models for analysing amorphous and nanocrystalline tapes.
Development of efficient FE calculation tools for eddy-current losses in multistrand windings, considering random conductor positions.
Measurement of losses in magnetic components using fieldmetric and calorimetric methods.
Design of inductors and transformers and building of power electronics converters.
