Fully Funded PhD Positions in Electric Machines, Power Electronics, and Machine Design at Georgia Tech

The Electric Machines Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology is recruiting multiple fully funded PhD students to join research in electric machines and power electronics. The lab, led by Professor Baoyun Ge, focuses on several cutting-edge areas: harnessing wattage for electrification, sustainable design of electric machines, innovation in machine design methodology, and research at the intersection of electric machines and artificial intelligence. One of the open PhD positions centers on very-high-speed electric machinery, with a preference for candidates who have experience in machine design. The lab's research spans topics such as advanced control of electric machines, magnetic material modeling, and the development of new electric machines and power converters. These areas are highly interdisciplinary, involving engineering, physics, computer science, and mathematics. Electric machines are critical to modern society, powering the grid, industrial automation, electric vehicles, and robotics. The lab investigates sustainable approaches to machine design, including reducing reliance on rare-earth materials while maintaining high performance. Research also includes modeling core losses in magnetic materials and leveraging computational advances for improved energy conversion. Prospective students should have a strong background in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or related fields, and a keen interest in the lab's research themes. Experience in machine design is preferred. Applicants are invited to send their CV and transcripts to Professor Baoyun Ge at [email protected]. More information about the lab and its research can be found at https://gem.ece.gatech.edu . Funding for these PhD positions is fully provided, including tuition coverage and a stipend. The application window is open, and interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
