Welcome to the landing page of my research project!

In its history, the Institute for Mechatronics in Mechanics has been working and conducting research on electric motors and generators from an early stage and has a machine test bench with state-of-the-art electrical, mechanical, and thermal measurement technology in its Power Hardware-in-the-Loop laboratory (PHILSLAB).

In the context of electromobility and the associated high demands on efficiency, power density, performance figures, and costs, numerous new areas of research are emerging. In this context, iMEK is researching new methods for multiphysical design and optimization of electric machines. The investigations are primarily conducted on axial-flux synchronous machines, which, due to their design, offer a wide variety of variants, great potential for innovative solutions, and promising performance.

In case you are interested in writing a thesis with us or working for us as a student research assistant, please contact @Folke Schwinning (folke.schwinning@tuhh.de).

Available theses

Below, you find an overview of available theses:

If you are interested in a thesis or would like to send in an unsolicited application to work on a topic in the context of electromagnetics, electrical machines and optimization, please contact @Folke Schwinning (folke.schwinning@tuhh.de). It is always helpful if you include a short, individual text about yourself, your skills and interests and any prior experiences and grades that might be important (e.g. for the module electrical machines).

Student jobs / HiWi positions

Depending on the current topics, we are looking for a HiWi to support our research activities. If you are interested in working with us, please get in contact to align with us about your capabilities, tasks, scope of the project and payment.
