Electromechanical Systems Group

SHORT biography

He graduated at “Alexandru Papiu Ilarian" Technical College in his home town of Zalău with a
High School Diploma in Telecommunication and followed-up with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca where his points of interests were electric
machines and drives, embedded control and vehicular technology. During this period, he did a series of
internship in the private sector in order to acquire practical experience in the field of electrical and
mechanical engineering (e.g. summer internship at Michelin Romania SA in Zalău) also he participated at
the first two edition of MOTION UNDER CONTROL organized by Electric Machine and Drive Department
to put into practice the theory learned. He had finished Master of Science program at the Technical
University of Cluj-Napoca studying the field of Advanced Electrical Systems. His master thesis was
“Design and control of Synchronous Reluctance Machine with outer rotor”.
Currently he is a PhD student at Technical University of Cluj-Napoca under the supervision of
Professor Claudia Martis and occupies a research assistant position in the Advanced Technologies for
Intelligent Urban Electric Vehicles (URBIVEL) project. His current research tasks consist in design and
optimization with finite element method, for different structures and types of electric machines with
CAD software FLUX 2D to design and analyzed parameters of the electric machine. He also uses MATLAB
for the optimization and mathematical approach to design electric machines.
