EA2045: Speed-sensorless Control of Electrical Machines
MERL is seeking a highly motivated and qualified individual to conduct research/development in speed-sensorless control of electrical machines.
The ideal candidate should have solid backgrounds in electrical machines, sensorless drives control, dynamical system analysis, signal processing, state estimation, and parameter identification. Demonstrated knowledge of the state-of-the-art sensorless drives control and experience on using dSPACE for real-time HIL experimentation is necessary. Proven record of publishing results in leading conferences/journals is a plus.
Senior Ph.D. students in electrical engineering, control, and related areas are encouraged to apply. Start date for this internship is as soon as possible and the duration is about 3-6 months.
