Electromechanics Research Group

The Research Group of Electromechanics at Aalto University aims to address timely research topics related to electrical machines with the integration of electrical, mechanical, and thermal aspects. We develop our own methods and related softwares and validate the methodology through experimental procedures in our own facilities. Some of the methods we develop are also incorporated in commercial softwares for better transfer of knowledge to our stakeholders. The group has the facilities to test electrical machines with power up to 150 kW. Test results are typically needed for the validation of the numerical methods and models developed. The Group is conducting research on the design and optimization of machines for industrial applications. This research includes transport electrification by designing next generation of machines dedicated to More Electric Aircraft (MEA) and Electric Vehicles (EV). The Group is involved in various national, european, and international research projects and collaborates with industrial and academic partners around the globe. The Group is led by Professor Anouar Belahcen. For more information, please visit our website.
