Electrical Machinery: Electromagnetic, Mechanical and Thermal Design
ID: 733935
Germany
Expert has been designing electric machines by using standard finite element software packages, as well as his own methods and algorithms. He has been recognized as a leading authority in the field of machines design throughout Europe, North and South America, India and China. He has authored numerous papers and three books on electric machines -- two of them highly respected Springer Monographs.
Considering decreasing offer of electric machine courses at western civilization universities, the author offers in addition to conventional solving of particular problems the electric machine design courses to employees of companies who engaged him. This way his clients have an opportunity to build up their own design teams, following the proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".
