Xudong Wang earned his B.Sc. in electrical engineering from Shanghai Jiaotong University (SJTU), China, in 2019. He then completed his M.Sc. in electrical engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden in 2021. During his master’s studies, he spent a semester at ETH Zurich in Switzerland and completed his thesis at Volvo Group in Gothenburg. In 2022, Xudong began his Ph.D. in electrical engineering at McMaster University under the supervision of Dr. Ali Emadi at the McMaster Automotive Resource Centre (MARC). His research focuses on control and estimation of electric machine drives, particularly for permanent magnet machines and switched reluctance machines.
Full Profile
Xudong’s interest in engineering began during his undergraduate studies, where he worked on projects involving embedded system programming, motor control, and power converter design. He discovered a passion for developing new ideas, building theoretical models, and implementing solutions through simulations and experiments.
During his master’s studies, Xudong gained both academic and industry experience. At Chalmers University of Technology, he contributed to the setup of a machine test bench. As an exchange student at ETH Zurich, he completed a semester-long project on power converter control, inspired by the university’s strong research environment. He later worked on his master’s thesis at Volvo Group in Sweden, focusing on torque ripple modeling and reduction for electric machines. This experience provided valuable industry insight and strengthened his interest in electric machine control and electric vehicles.
Xudong began his Ph.D. in electrical engineering at McMaster University in September 2022 under the supervision of Dr. Ali Emadi at the McMaster Automotive Resource Centre (MARC). His research focuses on electric machine control, working closely with industry partners. He enjoys analyzing theoretical concepts and connecting them with experimental results to develop practical, high-performance solutions.
