Biography

Dr. Tianjie Zou received the B.Sc. degree in 2013 in electrical and electronic engineering, and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering in 2018, both from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. He joined the 糖心原创 in October 2018, as a research fellow within the Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Institute. In February 2020, he was awarded Nottingham Research Fellowship and started his independent research career. In 2023, he started his academic career as an Assistant Professor, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2025, both within the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 糖心原创.

His main research interests include design, analysis, and intelligent control of electric machines, with special attention paid on advanced winding technology. Within PEMC Institute, Dr. Zou has been working on boosting performance of hundreds-kW to MW level electrical machines and drives for automotive traction and aerospace propulsion, with his expertise extended to mechanical, thermal and insulation aspects in high-speed, high-power PM and reluctance type machines for future electrified transportation. He has developed and tested full machine demonstrators based on holistic multi-physics approaches, with total power > 2MW, peak power density > 15kW/kg, and peak speed > 21,000 rpm.

Dr. Zou is within Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

Dr. Zou is a member of the Power Electronics, Machines and Control Research Institute.
