Induction Machines Handbook

Ion Boldea, IEEE Life Fellow, Professor Emeritus at University Politehnica Timisoara, Romania has taught, did research and published extensively papers and books (monographs and textbooks) over more than 45 years, related to rotary and linear electric motor/generator variable speed drives and MAGLEVS. He was a visiting Professor in USA, UK for more than 5 years since 1973 to present. He was granted 4 IEEE best paper Awards, has been a member of IEEE IAS, IE MEC and IDC since 1992, was the guest editor of numerous special sections in IEEE Trans, vol. IE, IA, delivered keynote addresses at quite a few IEEE sponsored International Conferences, participated in IEEE Conference tutorials, is since 2008 an IEEE IAS distinguished lecturer (with lecture in USA, Brasil, S. Korea, Denmark, Italy, etc.). He held periodic intensive graduate courses for Academia and Industry in USA and Denmark in the last 20 years. He was a general chair of 10 bianual IEEE sponsored OPTIM International Conferences (www.info-optim.ro) and is the founding and current Chief Editor since the year 2000, of the International – only Journal of Electrical Engineering "www.jee.ro".Full member of Romanian Academy, he received the "Nicola Tesla IEEE-2015 Award" for contributions to the development of rotary and linear electric motor/generator drives and Maglevs modeling, design, testing and control in industrial applications.
