The Ludois Research Group

Ludois received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from UW-Madison 2011. He currently serves as assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering in UW–Madison’s College of Engineering and associate director WEMPEC.

Ghule earned a M.S. degree in mechanical engineering from at UW-Madison in 2013 and is currently pursuing a Ph.D in electrical engineering. His research interests include control of electric motors and power electronics.

Schroedermeier is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at the UW–Madison. As a member of the group since 2014, his research interests include power electronics, electric machines and power electronic component integration.

Ge is currently working towards the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at UW-Madison, with the Wisconsin Electric Machine and Power Electronics Consortium. Baoyun’s interests include electric machines and power electronics.

Dai is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at UW-madison with the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium. Dai joined the group at 2013, and his interests include power electronic circuit design and control.

Killeen worked for Arkansas Power Electronics International and Wolfspeed focusing on SiC gate drivers and power module applications from 2012 to 2016. He joined WEMPEC and Dr. Ludois’ group in Fall 2016 and is pursuing a Ph.D degree in electrical engineering.

Knippel is currently researching hydrodynamic thrust bearing assemblies for capacitive power transfer at WEMPEC while working to complete his Ph.D. Areas of research interest include fluid mechanics, mechanical design of electric machines, and design optimization.

Hagen is pursuing his M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering as a student in the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium. His current research is centered around capacitive power transfer through journal bearings.
