UW-Madison Grainger Institute for Engineering

Happy Holidays from all of us here at GIE!

Grainger Institute is excited to welcome new Fellow, Chu Ma!

Focus on new faculty: Chu Ma has an ear for interdisciplinary acoustics research - College of Engineering - University of Wisconsin-Madison Sound waves can enable us to see things that would otherwise be invisible. And that’s thanks to acoustics—the field that covers all aspects of how mechanical waves travel through solids, liquids and gases. For example, it’s key in the sensing technology sonar, which submarines use to map out u...

Congratulations to Bulent Sarlioglu and Thomas Jahns, who have been awarded the Electric Drive Technologies Consortium Award! This $1.5 Million Grant is going to aid them in their current research.

The objective of the project is to research, design, develop, and test a high-performance traction motor and a high-efficiency traction inverter, and then to combine them into a state-of-the-art integrated motor drive (IMD) that requires only a single housing for use in vehicle applications.
