The candidate should have a master's degree in electrical or electronic engineering and be familiar with simulation environments such as Simulink, Plecs, Psim, and Spice. Furthermore, a consolidated experience in laboratory activities is highly recommended, and in particular in the design, realization and experimental evaluation of electrical, electromechanical and electronic systems.
The E-mobility and Power Electronics research team at the Department of Engineering of the University of Messina is composed of a full professor, an associate professor, a lecturer and three Phd students. Experimental research activities are accomplished at the Laboratory of Electrical Drives and Power Electronics which has been developed over the years to carry out research in the fields of industrial automation, power converters, electric mobility, electric grids and exploitation of renewable energy resources. Among the available instrumentation are some systems for the development of digital twins, a grid simulator, a simulator of photovoltaic generators as well as measurement and monitoring systems for vehicular and stationary battery packs. The team is partner of ST-Microelectronics, CNR and some Italian Universities and firms in research activities in the fields of E-Mobility and Smart-Grids.
