Rajib Mikail

Welcome to my website!

Currently working as a scientist at ABB, US Corporate Research Center at Raleigh, NC, USA. Here I work with the machine design group.

Previously worked as a Doctoral Research Assistant at NC State University, where I worked on High Performance Application of Switched Reluctance Machine (SRM). Other notable professional experiences include RA at University of Akron, Lecturer at BUET, RA at IICT (BUET). I worked on Electronic Voting Machine (EVM) which has been successfully used in broader aspect in Bangladesh. I also worked on Electronic Energy Meter and SCADA systems at IICT for local Utility company.

Specialties: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Machine Design in FLUX2D and FLUX3D, Structural Analysis of Electric Machines in ABAQUS FEA, Machine Drives and Controls modeling in SIMULINK-MATLAB, DSP and Microchip Programming, Hardware In the Loop (HIL) simulation using LABVIEW, Dynamometer Design and Implementation for Motor Drives application, Analog Circuit Design and Debugging.
