Postdoc in Design & Optimization of Reliable & Compatible Power Electronics
POSTDOC IN DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF RELIABLE AND COMPATIBLE POWER ELECTRONICS - Aalborg Universitet, Aalborg
At the Faculty of Engineering and Science, AAU Energy, two or more postdoc positions in power electronics are open for appointment from the 1st of January 2026, or soon hereafter. The positions are for 2 years.
AAU Energy is a dynamic engineering research department in continuous growth and inspiring surroundings.
AAU Energy has a very international environment and covers all areas of clean and sustainable energy systems of the future within electrical, thermal, and mechatronic energy technology. AAU Energy has campuses in both Aalborg and Esbjerg, this position is located in Aalborg.
The positions are offered in relation to the EMI/EMC in Power Electronics and Power Electronic Control, Reliability and System Optimization research groups. They are also in relation to AAU Energy's Mission on Digital Transformation and AI as well as Energy Efficiency. The postdocs
will be positioned in the section for Applied Power Electronic Systems.
The research area will be within the modeling and design optimization of power converters based on digital twin with emphasis on efficiency, reliability, and EMI/EMC modeling.
The postdocs will get to travel to different workshop and conferences for knowledge dissemination as well as visiting research institutes in the context of the project.
It is expected that the applicant demonstrates a documented expertise in the following areas:
Proven-research experiences in the following research topics:
1) Isolated power converter topologies (e.g., Dual-active-bridge, LLC, and resonant converters).
2) Power converter design and optimization.
3) Multi-domain modeling simulation (e.g., electro-thermal).
4) Wide-band-gap power semiconductor devices.
5) Efficiency and power loss analysis of active and passive devices including magnetics.
6) Digital twin modeling of power electronics including control and modulation.
Familiarize with at least two of the following topics:
1) Reliability and lifetime modeling of power electronics.
2) Time-frequency domain EMI modeling of power electronic converters.
3) Electromagnetic compatibility and filter design in power electronics.
Proven-records in peer-reviewed publications in the most recognized power electronics journals.
Hands-on experiences in experiment development and testing (e.g., hardware development,
software implementation in various processor platforms) is required.
In-depth understanding of power electronics and its engineering constraints is required.
Strong English communication skills is mandatory.
Experiences in assisting teaching and supervision is a plus.
