  Artificial Intelligence based Electric Vehicle Motor Design


   School of Physics, Engineering and Technology

  Dr Xing Zhao  Applications accepted all year round  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

About the Project

Electric vehicle development has been a hot topic around the world. This PhD programme will develop artificial intelligence based computational tools to accelerate electric vehicle motor design and optimization process. In this program, new machine learning/computer vision/deep learning methods will be developed and applied in finite element analysis. Topology optimization of electric motors based on the developed computational tools will be carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed novel solution.
