معرفی
Thomas Ewald is a Doctorate Program student at ETH Zürich, affiliated with the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering (D-ITET) and the Chair of High Power Electronics (HPE). His research focuses on analytical inductor models and automated optimization processes for converter systems.
- Ewald earned his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Technical University of Munich (2015, 2018), developing an analytical model for transient processes in synchronous machines during his Master’s thesis at BMW AG.
- He has interned at Scanlab AG (2013–2014) in R&D for galvanometer scanner simulations and contributed to academic research on eddy current losses, thermal hotspots, and computational efficiency in magnetic components.
Research Interests
Thomas's work bridges Power Electronics, Magnetic Component Design, and Converter Optimization. His research explores analytical modeling of high-frequency inductors, eddy current losses, and conductor homogenization techniques to reduce computational costs by over 90% in 3D simulations. He also investigates virtual component prototyping and system-level optimization of electric converters.
Publications
His publications at conferences like PCIM, ECCE, and EPE, along with journal articles in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, highlight advancements in gapped inductor design, loss modeling, and thermal management. Collaborations with Jürgen Biela and others emphasize modular frameworks and cost-effective solutions.
