DAVID GERADA received a Ph.D. degree in high-speed electrical machines from the University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK in 2012. From 2007--2016 he was with the R&D Department at Cummins, first as an Electromagnetic Design Engineer (2007--2012), and then as a Senior Electromagnetic Design Engineer and Innovation Leader (2012-2016). At Cummins he pioneered the design and development of highspeed electrical machines transforming a challenging technology into a reliable one suitable for the transportation market, while establishing industry-wide used metrics for such machinery. In 2016 he joined the University of Nottingham as a Senior Fellow in Electrical Machines, responsible for developing state of the art electrical machines for future transportation which push existing technology boundaries, while propelling the new technologies to higher technology readiness levels (TRL). Dr. Gerada is a Chartered Engineer in the U.K. and a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
