PhD position in Electrical Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology This doctoral project, TERMINATOR (funded by FFI Nollutsläpp ), investigates how fast-switching silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power electronics affect the long-term reliability of electric motors. The research focuses on two major degradation mechanisms: electrothermal stress that accelerates aging of motor insulation, and bearing currents that damage mechanical bearings under high dv/dt operation. The ...

Ghent University, a top 100 global institution, offers a full-time doctoral fellowship in the Department of Electromechanical, Systems and Metal Engineering. The position is based at the Energy & Systems Laboratory (EnSy) and is part of the Flanders Make research project IMVEP, which spans four years. The project centers on the development and validation of multilevel inverters for high-power electric motor applications, specifically targeting high DC bus voltages up to 1200 V. The main objectiv...

KTH Royal Institute of Technology is recruiting a doctoral student in Electrical Engineering focused on electrical motor reliability within the TERMINATOR project, funded by FFI. The project studies how fast-switching silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) power electronics influence long-term motor reliability. A central question is how fast voltage transitions (high dv/dt of 20–50 kV/µs) create electro-thermal stresses that accelerate stator insulation dielectric aging and bearing dam...
