Electromechanical Systems Group

SHORT biography

He was born into a bulgarian family on June 18th 1985, in Targoviste, Romania. In 2003 he finished highschool at Constantin I. Carabella. From 2006 to 2009 he moved to Spain where he worked in electrical installation and general construction fields. There, he established a foundation for homeless people. This foundation continued to function until the day he went back to Romania. From 2009 he attended the courses of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, within the Electromechanics specialization. He graduated in 2013 and started his master courses at the same faculty but under Advanced Structures and Electrical Systems specialization. In 2012 he was hired as a technician at the Technical University, working as a CNC machine operator. During that time he was also involved in different university activities, finished an internship at Emerson and took part of the BatlelabRobotica contest. He was also involved in the organizing team of Motion Under Control contest and held workshops for undergraduate students. He won a 3days Start-up contest in Cluj-Napoca with topic : " The automatisation of a greenhouse". Within a research project, as a research assistant, he stayed 3 months at Siemens in Leuven, Belgium. Currently he is attending his doctoral studies in the Electrical Machines and Drives Department of the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. He is also part of the research team which focuses on the study of the thermal electric cars. He is fluent in Spanish, Bulgarian, Romanian and English. When it comes to hobbies, he likes gardening and he prefers to spend his free time surrounded by nature.

RESEARCH FIELD

The purpose of the research project was to investigate the temperature issues of electrical machines. The reason for choosing this theme was to explore the temperature problems that can rise at any time in the coil of a motor. The present work aims to define a methodology for thermal management for Switched Reluctance Machines (SRMs).
