Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium
The University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering has introduced a new tuition model for most of its online engineering graduate programs, expanding access for working professionals while maintaining the academic rigor and reputation of a top-ranked engineering institution.
Mahima Gupta is the principal investigator on a new project within ARPA-E's Disruptive DC Converters for Grid Resilient Infrastructure to Deliver Secure energy (DC-GRIDS) program investigating new ways to bring down the initial costs of multi-terminal high-voltage direct current substations and make the technology cost-competitive with AC systems.
The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) has included Prof. Daniel Ludois in its 2025 class of fellows—the highest distinction designed to recognize academic inventors’ accomplishments in patents, licensing and commercialization.
As aviation begins to transition from combustion-powered jet engines to cleaner electric motors, designers need to make sure that electrically propelled aircraft can achieve the same level of reliability via redundancy. That’s why Professors Bulent Sarlioglu and Thomas Jahns along with a group of students are working on a NASA-funded project to develop ultra-reliable fault-tolerant electric motor drives for future aircraft propulsion systems.
