Facility

Our lab is currently under renovation and will be ready in January 2026.

The layout is shown on the left.

We will have three shared workbenches in C155 respectively for mechanical assembly, electronic assembly, and low voltage testing. In the same room, a mobile shelving system is planned to store our prototypes, materials, supplies, etc.

High-power experiments will take place in W139, which is set up to support (absolute) power processing up to 100 kW. Dynamometer #1 will be a retrofit of a Haas CNC machine, utilizing its spindle as the prime mover and its xyz positioning capability to precisely align stator and rotor. Dynamometer #2 will be more conventional and housed in a cage for safe operation. We will also have a mini book library for lab members. Prof. Ge reserved one bench for himself to experiment early-stage research ideas and prototype various teaching demos for ECE 3025, ECE 3300, ECE 6336, etc.

These lab space were inherited from Prof. Thomas Habetler, who is a world-renowned expert on the diagnosis and health monitoring of electric motor drives.

Stay tuned about our lab updates. In the meantime, we play in Van Leer C441.
