Professor Kay Hameyer
Past Conference Chairman
RWTH-Aachen University, Germany
Kay Hameyer (Senior MIEEE, Fellow IET) received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Hannover, Germany. He received the Ph.D. degree from University of Technology Berlin, Germany.
After his university studies he worked with the Robert Bosch GmbH in Stuttgart, Germany, as a design engineer for permanent magnet servo motors and board net components. In 1988 he became a member of the staff at the University of Technology Berlin, Germany. From November to December 1992 he was a visiting professor at the COPPE Universidade Fderal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, teaching electrical machine design. In the frame of collaboration with the TU Berlin, he was in June 1993 a visiting professor at the Université de Batna, Algeria. Beginning in 1993 he was a scientific consultant working on several industrial projects. Currently he is a guest professor at the University of Maribor in Slovenia, the Korean University of Technology and Education (KUTE) in South-Korea. Dr. Hameyer was awarded his Dr. habil. from the faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technical University of Poznan in Poland and was awarded the title of Dr. h.c. from the faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technical University of Cluj Napoca in Romania. Until February 2004 Dr. Hameyer was a full professor for Numerical Field Computations and Electrical Machines with the K.U.Leuven in Belgium.
Currently Dr. Hameyer is the director of the “Institute of Electrical Machines” and holder of the chair “Electromagnetic Energy Conversion” of the RWTH Aachen University in Germany (www.iem.rwth-aachen.de). Next to the directorship of the Institute of Electrical Machines, from 2007 to 2009 Dr. Hameyer was the dean of the faculty of electrical engineering and information technology of RWTH Aachen University. Currently he is elected member and evaluator of the German Research Foundation (DFG).
His research interests are numerical field computation, the design and control of electrical machines, in particular permanent magnet excited machines, induction machines and numerical optimisation strategies. Since several years Dr. Hameyer’s work is concerned with the magnetic levitation for drive systems. Dr. Hameyer is author of more then 180 journal publications, more then 350 international conference publications and author of 4 books.
Dr. Hameyer is an elected member of the board of the International Compumag Society, member of the German VDE, a senior member of the IEEE, a Fellow of the IET and a founding member of the executive team of the IET Professional Network “Electromagnetics”.
