Dr. Yixuan Wu
Development Engineer MOLABO GmbH
Dr. Wu is a Development Engineer for electrical machines and drive systems at MOLABO, where he has been working since 2025 on innovative 48 V high-performance motors and highly dynamic servo actuators. His focus lies in the development of robust, highly integrated electric drive systems at the intersection of electromagnetics, control engineering, and system architecture.
In 2024, he completed his PhD at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm with a dissertation titled “Modeling and Control of Electrical Multiphase Machines for Pole-Transition and Fault-Tolerance.” During his doctoral studies, he also conducted research at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Bologna.
His research has received multiple distinctions, including a doctoral scholarship from the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes), inclusion in the IVA100 list of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences recognizing the 100 most promising technology and research projects, and an IEEE Best Paper Award.
2026 Event Agenda Sessions
Next-Generation 48V E-Drives: Aluminium Conductors & Ferrite Magnets for Sustainable Motor Design
This session presents a 48 V, 35 kW electric drive system that rethinks motor design through the use of rigid aluminium bar conductors and rare-earth-free ferrite magnets. By addressing cost, supply chain resilience, and sustainability simultaneously, the concept offers a practical pathway for material transition in motor manufacturing. Combining technical analysis with quantified life-cycle data, the session provides actionable insights into next-generation low-voltage drive development.
