We are pleased to announce the latest FEMM Hub PhD based at the University of Sheffield.


PhD title: Advanced Manufacturing of Copper Conductors for Electric Machines

About the Project

Supervisory team:

Prof Hassan Ghadbeigi (Mechanical Engineering)

Prof Geraint Jewell (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

Overview

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position (at UK student rates) focusing on the development and optimization of manufacturing processes for copper conductors used in next-generation electrical machines. This project sits at the intersection of advanced manufacturing, materials science, and data-driven process optimization.

Project Description

Electrical machines are crucial components in various applications, from electric vehicles to industrial drives. The efficiency and performance of these motors heavily depend on the thermal management of their copper windings. This PhD project aims to:
