Ph D position

Eislab is seeking candidates for 13 Ph.D.positions

EISLAB, a division of the department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Luleå University of Technology, Sweden, has 13 PhD students positions available within the research areas of Industrial Electronics and Embedded System.


For more information about the group, please visit www.ltu.se/eislab.

The research projects are:

Highly efficient power electronics for hybrid drivelines with reduced EM emissions - ref no.1663-09
The standard method to achieve high energy efficiency in the power electronics of a hybrid driveline is to use pulse width modulation (PWM) i.e.the output voltage of the power electronics is switched on and off with a frequency much higher than the required frequency response of the driveline.The drawback of this is that it creates a lot of transients which often creates serious EMC problems.The transients can even lead to catastrophic failure of the driveline itself.

The project is about how this type of power electronics should be modeled to enable correct design and simulation of it from the start instead of the present situation with different rule of thumb fixes afterwards to get it behave as wanted.

Candidates should have good knowledge in electronics, electromagnetics, embedded systems and embedded system software.Strong knowledge in electronics simulation and modeling is credited.
