Philippe Masson Email & Phone Number

Dr. Philippe Masson has been working in the area of motors, generators, electro-mechanical systems, power application of superconductivity, analysis-led design and Multi-Physics modeling since 1999. He received a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the Université Henri Poincare, Nancy, France in 2002. He spent the following 6 years at the FSU-Center for Advanced Power Systems in Tallahassee, FL, working on the development of high power density superconducting machines for aircraft propulsion and on numerical modeling of electro-thermal instabilities in superconductors. At the same time, he was appointed by the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering as adjunct professor for the Department of Electrical Engineering. In 2009, he joined the Advanced Magnet Lab as Senior Scientist where he worked on superconducting motors and generators, resistive and superconducting magnets and analysis-led design/multi-physics modeling. From 2012 to May 2018, he served as a faculty member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and as PI at the Texas Center for Superconductivity at the University of Houston. He is now Chief Technology Officer at AML Superconductivity and Magnetics where he leads the developments of permanent magnets using AML's novel PM-Wire manufacturing process, motors and generators, and superconducting systems.Dr. Masson was appointed to the Editorial board of IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity and served as Editor for Large Scale Applications for 13 years (2005-2019). He is a Senior Member of IEEE and AIAA and a member of the Cryogenic Society of America. He received the “Outstanding Young Researcher Award” from NASA in 2007 and the Roger W. Boom Award from the Cryogenic Society of America in 2010. Dr. Masson has published over 40 journal papers and given more than 70 conference presentations in the area of motors and generators, Applied Superconductivity and MultiPhysics Modeling. Specialties: Analysis-led design, high power density rotating machines, permanent magnet machines, applied superconductivity, power systems, multi-physics simulations, electro-thermal instabilities in superconductors, AC losses, numerical modeling permanent magnet manufacturing.
