The position will be organized in the Power Electronics and Electric Machines research group (PEM), which is one of four research groups in the department. The main responsibility of the Professor/Associate Professor will be research and teaching within digital control of electric drives and power electronic converters for other applications required for improving productivity, efficiency, stability and sustainability of electrical energy conversion systems. Examples of research topics include advanced motor control using digital control algorithms (e.g., model-predictive control, adaptive controllers) and their implementation on digital platforms (e.g., FPGAs, high-speed digital signal processors and System-On-Chip integrated circuits), high-speed optical serial links, etc. Examples of application domains include electrification of transportation (marine, aviation, ground transportation), renewable energy integration, the use of grid following- and grid forming converters in enhancing the grid capacity, and microgrids. The prospective candidate is expected to take an active role in the creation and development of interdisciplinary research competence in digital control for emerging power electronic converters. The candidate will be responsible for the PESC Digital Control platform used in the department including further development of this platform. The candidate is also exp
