Biography
Michael Galea received his PhD in electrical machines design from the University of Nottingham, UK in 2013. He worked as a Research Fellow in electrical machines until 2014 at the University. In 2014, he was appointed as an academic in the Power Electronics, Machines and Drives (PEMC) research group and as the Deputy Director of the University’s Institute for Aerospace Technology in the UK. In 2017, he was appointed as the Head of the School of Aerospace in the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and also as the Director of Aerospace at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China. He leads and manages a number of diverse projects and programs related to the more / all electric aircraft, electrified propulsion, electrical energy conversion and associated fields. He sits on the Industrial Electronics Society – Electrical Machines Technical Committee (IES-EMTC), the UK MagSoc committee and is a special advisor to the UK’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) for the More Electric Aircraft (MEA). His main research interests are the design, analysis and thermal management of electrical machines and drives. He works across all the main application fields including transport (automotive, marine, aerospace) and industrial, but with a main focus on the more electric aircraft and the aircraft of the future. He is also the co-director of the Propulsion Futures Beacon of Excellence, a major research framework within the University of Nottingham.
