Congrats to Nathan, Anvar, and Nishanth!
Nathan finished his MS project on the development of a new, open-source control platform and creative sandbox for electric machines. The platform is appropriately entitled the Advanced Motor Drive Controller or AMDC. Nearly all of the researchers in our lab are now using an AMDC to control their machinery. Find out more here.
Nathan is continuing in our research group, working toward a PhD in advanced control and self-sensing of bearingless motors. You can read more about Nathan’s PhD work in these publications:

Anvar has successfully completed his preliminary PhD qualifying examination and is now a dissertator. His PhD research is focused on creating a new approach to modeling electrical machines that will change the way we design and control bearingless machines, unlocking higher design performance.

Nishanth has successfully completed his preliminary PhD qualifying examination and is now a dissertator. His PhD research is focused on high power density machine design to enable electrification of off-highway vehicles. Nishanth is squeezing every kilo possible out of his machine by integrating it with a hydraulic pump and developing special winding technology to control multiple airgap harmonic fields.
