Dr. Nabeel Ahmed completed his BEng from Newcastle University in 2012 after which he was offered a PhD scholarship by a Swedish company called Hoganas AB. He successfully graduated with a doctorate degree in 2016 with several academic papers under his name and produced numerous prototypes showcasing ‘futuristic vehicles’ that are now patented under the company’s name. Since then, Nabeel has worked on various industrial and research projects with JLR, Rolls Royce, McLaren, Dyson, EPSRC FEMM Hub, National Rail UK, QinetiQ, Boeing and Airbus all equating to research funding of over £28 million and is now regarded as an expert in the world of electrical machines and power electronics.
Dr. Nabeel has been invited to numerous international conferences and exhibitions to showcase his research findings. He has been winners of countless awards such as the ‘best research project’ at ICCES, Portugal and was chosen as the sole representative of UK at IBC Amsterdam. He has been awarded with certifications in six sigma, TRIZ, DFMEA, IBM doors and FMA in electrification of automotives.

Education

2012- 2016: PhD in Power Electronics, Drives and Machines, Newcastle University, UK                  

Thesis Title: Improving the Torque quality of a Modulated Pole Machine. Focus of the work was to minimise the cogging torque and back EMF harmonics in the Modulated Pole Machine topology aimed towards futuristic electric vehicles. Working on transverse flux machines from conceptual phase to designing to manufacturing and testing the prototypes. 24 variants of motor were manufactured in this period; the most optimized machine improved the torque quality by 300% and is now used in Höganäs electric bikes sold across Sweden. Several publications and presentations were delivered internationally for this work.

2009-2012: BEng, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, (First Class Hons), Newcastle University, UK     

Final year project: A Reconfigurable Antenna Design for use in military application (project for Ministry of Defence UK). Scored a Distinction in Research Thesis
