MERL is seeking a highly motivated intern to conduct research in electric machine fault analysis. The ideal candidate should be a senior Ph. D student in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with a solid background in the physics and engineering of electric motors, and early fault detection. Knowledge and experience in electric motor modeling and machine learning are desired. The candidate is expected to collaborate with MERL researchers to conduct theoretical analysis, numerical simulations, develop algorithms and prepare manuscripts for scientific publications. The duration of internship is expected to be 3 months and start date is flexible.

MERL is seeking a motivated and qualified individual to conduct research in design, modeling, and simulation of electrical machines. The ideal candidate should have solid backgrounds in modeling (including model reduction)/co-simulation of electromagnetics and thermal dynamics of electrical machines, and demonstrated capability to publish results in leading conferences/journals. Experience with ANSYS, COMSOL, and real-time control experiments involving motor drives is a strong plus. Senior Ph.D. students in electrical or mechanical engineering are encouraged to apply. Start date for this internship is flexible and the duration is about 3-6 months.

MERL is seeking a motivated and qualified individual to conduct research in numerical modeling and optimization of thermal fluid systems. A solid background in numerical simulation of fluid dynamics and heat transfer is required. Skills in numerical optimization in partial differential equations are expected and experiences with OpenFOAM are highly desirable. Senior Ph.D. students in applied mathematics, chemical/mechanical engineering and other related areas are encouraged to apply. The duration of the internship is about 3 months.
