The Converters, Electrical Machines and Drives (CEMD) group focuses on the design, modelling and control of innovative electric machines and static converters with advanced interdisciplinary applications. Notable projects include generators for low-speed wind and hydro turbines, high-performance motors for Formula E, and solutions for extreme environments, such as dual-rotor motors for fluid transport in difficult conditions.

The group is recognised for its innovative patents, such as windings for electric machines with axial and radial flow that reduce parasitic torque and improve efficiency.
