SHORT biography

Born on July 20, 1989 in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. He attended "Augustin Maior" High School from Cluj-Napoca where started his passion for electrical engineering. He received his Diplomatic Electrical Engineering Diploma in Electro-mechanics, from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania in 2012. In 2012 he started his Master degree studies, with the same Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, and in 2014 he obtain his Master Diploma in Advanced Structures and Electrical Systems. Currently he is in the second year of PhD at the Department of Electrical Machines and Drives, Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. During the Faculty time, he was involved in extracurricular activities, being in internship at Emerson, a water polo player for Technical University of Cluj-Napoca team "POLICLUJ". Also he had the opportunity to obtain Erasmus Scholarship in the last bachelor year (second semester), to study at Ecole Superieure d'Ingenieurs en Electrotechnique et Electronique (E.S.I.E.E.), Amiens, France. In the same time he made his project for bachelor degree where his objective was to study electromagnetic compatibility on permanent magnet synchronous generators for wind applications. This work was part of a regional project to study the electromagnetic compatibility in the wind turbines.

Currently, at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Department of Electrical Machines and Drives, he is part of the research team and from 7th of January 2015 he begin a 13 month research internship in electrical machines at Brose, a company with a great tradition in Electromotive and Drives, Wurzburg Germany. He speaks several languages as English, French and German. When it comes Hobbies, he enjoys to spend his free time in nature, fishing or hiking.

RESEARCH FIELD

The purpose of this research project was to investigate the vibration issues in electrical machines. The reason for choosing the theme "Vibroacoustic behavior of electrical machines for automotive applications" was to explore the vibration problems that can rise at any time in the installation or operation of a motor. To solve a vibration situation, it must be taken in account the difference between cause and effect. The present work aims to define a methodology for designing low-noise Synchronous Reluctance Machines (SyncRMs) by tackling directly the problem at its source (i.e. radial forces). Moreover, key quantities for evaluating the performance of a motor (i.e. average torque and torque ripple).
