Research

Current, past and future research topics on electric machines and drives pursued by the PI, including but not limited to the following: 

Current and future research topics at Oakland University

Multiphysics Design of Electric Machines for Transportation Electrification,

Electromagnetic, thermal and mechanical design and analysis of permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs), induction machines (IMs), synchronous reluctance machines (SynRMs), permanent magnet-assisted SynRMs (PMaSynRMs), etc. 

Healthy and Faulty Motor Drive Studies and Testing for Electric Vehicles (EVs),

Mitigation of electrical, mechanical, and magnetic faults in electric machines, as well as switch and sensor faults in electric drives. Testing of electric drive systems on dynamometers for EV applications, such as e-bikes and e-boats.  

Emulation and Hardware/Software-in-the-Loop Testing of EV Electric Drives,

Emulation of healthy and faulty motor drives, and hardware/software-in-the-loop testing for transportation electrification and renewable energy systems.   

Control of Power Electronic Converters for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V) Applications,

Dynamic analysis and control of real/reactive power exchange in power systems in the presence of power electronics-fed EVs.
