Abstract Scope |
Trends towards electrification are driving the needs for improved soft magnetic materials that can operate at unprecedented combinations of switching frequencies and power levels, as well as engineered components which are highly power dense yet extremely efficient. Successfully tackling these challenges will require an interdisciplinary skill set spanning materials science, applied physics, and electrical engineering, as well as close collaborations between end-users of components (motors, transformers, inductors, etc.) and the materials and manufacturing community. This presentation will highlight a newly established consortium to successfully realize the necessary educational and research ecosystem required to support this emerging area of importance moving into the future. Recent technical successes by existing partners will be highlighted as well as new and existing facilities available through the partner institutions. An overview of future areas of strategic importance to the consortium will be highlighted with opportunities for establishing new collaborations and partnerships moving into the future. |
