Luca Boscaglia

Luca Boscaglia is a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, specializing in Electrically Excited Synchronous Machines (EESMs) for sustainable transportation. He is affiliated with the Department of Electric Power Engineering, focusing on electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal design challenges of high-power density motors.

• PhD in Electrical Engineering (2024, Chalmers)
• Expertise in rare-earth-free electric motor alternatives
• Key contributor to EU-funded projects like LONG and DORNA

His research addresses critical issues in the transportation sector's decarbonization, including:

• Advanced rotor and stator oil cooling systems
• High-speed mechanical integrity under centrifugal forces
• Dynamic current control with mutual coupling considerations
• Driving cycle thermal modeling for reliability

Publication trends highlight innovations in:

• Direct oil cooling for 200 kW truck motors
• Brushless excitation systems
• Hairpin winding loss reduction
• Comparative analysis with permanent magnet motors

Collaborations span automotive giants (Volvo, ABB), EU institutions, and global universities (Zhejiang, Polytechnic University of Turin). Current projects include FlexCharge, E-drill, and HipeDrive, funded by Swedish Energy Agency and European Commission.
