Duration: 3 years

The project: 

This project is in collaboration with the EPSRC underpinning power electronics research at Warwick. It involves the modelling and characterisation of advanced power electronic devices in converters for automotive and power systems. Device and system level performance will be investigated as well as reliability, electromagnetic emissions and condition monitoring. The student will work in advanced wide bandgap power semiconductor devices and investigate the trade-offs between power density and reliability. Other aspects of the project will include the integration of these devices into power modules and optimal gate drive techniques. The successful candidate will be expected to perform teaching duties in the School of Engineering

Eligibility: 

Due to funding restrictions this award is available for well-qualified UK or EU students. Overseas students may apply and, if successful would be required to make up the difference in fees between the home and the overseas rate.

Funding Details:

The Scholarship will pay the tuition fees at the Home/EU rate for three years plus an annual stipend at the standard rate (currently £13,863). The successful candidate will be expected to perform teaching duties in the School of Engineering
