N. J. Batistela is Full Professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). In 2001 he concluded his Doctoral Thesis at UFSC. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at UFSC in 2002 and is now engaged in education and research on Electromagnetic Devices, Electric Machinery, and Electromagnetism. His research interests include magnetic materials, iron losses, hysteresis models, power electronics applied to electrical machines, and electromagnetic experimentation. Current research includes: investigation of magnetic materials; investigation of incipient faults in synchronous machines and in three-phase induction motors; determination of efficiency and of parameters values of three-phase induction motor models. He is also a researcher on Productivity at CNPq (Brazilian National Research Council) since 2003. REGULAR COURSES (more than 16 years of experience).
