Intro to Electric Motor Workshop
Electric motor is one essential component of the modern industry and our daily life. It consumes approximately 53% of the global electricity, and now, the electric motor industry is developing faster than ever thanks to the booming electric vehicle market.
Are you interested in knowing the latest motor technologies and learning how to design your own electric motor? Come to the Electric Motor Design Workshop organized by IEEE UNSW Student Branch and PELS/IAS/PES Student Joint Chapter!
In the first section of the workshop, we will have Dr. Rukmi Dutta from the Energy system group of UNSW and Dr. Howard Lovatt from the Electrical machine team of CSIRO to talk about the fundamental principles of electric motors, the innovations in motor technology, and the on-going electric motor research projects in UNSW and CSIRO.
Dr. Rukmi Dutta is a senior lecturer in the Energy System group, and the secretary of the IEEE IAS Electric Machines Committee (EMC). Dr. Howard Lovatt is the Electrical machines team leader of CSIRO. Both of them have over 10 years’ experience in participating and managing Australia’s top-class electrical machine projects. They will share their foresight and experience in the electric motor industry and research field. You can expect to get career guidance on the electrical drive system industry and exclusive information on opportunities to work in their exciting research projects!
The second section is an entry-level FEA motor modeling workshop, which the focus is to provide entry-level guidance for UNSW students to learn 1) how to access to the many specialized virtual software applications through UNSW myAccess platform, 2) how to model an electric motor using ANSYS EDT, and 3) what other things you can do with FEA simulation.
Please note that the second section of this workshop requires access to the ANSYS EDT 2019R3. All UNSW students can access ANSYS EDT 2019R3 via UNSW myAccess. If you are not a UNSW student, please contact the IT department of your institute or ANSYS for accessing ANSYS EDT.
If electric motor design interests you, come and join the IEEE UNSW Student Branch at the Electric Motor Design Workshop on Tuesday 20th October (Week 6) at 3:00pm on Zoom.

Speakers
Dr. Rukmi Dutta of UNSW Sydney
Recent development in electric motor technologies
Biography:
Rukmi Dutta (S’03–SM’16) has received the B.E. degree in electrical engineering from the Assam Engineering College of Guwahati University, Guwahati, India, in 1996, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia, in 2007.
She is a Senior Lecturer with UNSW, Sydney, Australia. Prior to this, she worked as an Electrical Engineer with CMG Pty Ltd. (currently Regal Beloit Australia), and as an Associate Lecturer with the UNSW, Australia. She also worked with the Institute of Industrial Science, Tokyo University, Tokyo, Japan and Reliance Industry Ltd., India. Her research interests include PM machine design and control, electromagnetic analysis of electric devices, renewable energy, and distributed generation.
Dr. Howard Lovatt of CSIRO
Advanced electric machine technologies
Biography:
Howard Lovatt received the graduate degree from Nottingham University, Nottingham, U.K., in 1984, and the Ph.D. degree from Leeds University, Leeds, U.K., in 1991, and the thesis was titled “Switched Reluctance Motors with High-Dynamic Performance.” He then worked with Switched Reluctance Drives Ltd., where he developed the world’s first microprocessor-based controller for a switched reluctance motor. Post the Ph.D. degree, he has worked with Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation on a large number of commercially
successful projects including high-speed motors, mineral separators, and hybrid vehicles.
Dr. Lovatt is a past recipient of CSIRO’s top award, the Chairman’s Medal, which he won for his work on Hybrid Vehicles.
