Research focus of the Centre
The PELINCEC center
of excellence promotes research and disseminates knowledge on multi-disciplinary
areas of power electronic semiconductor devices, converter topologies and
control systems with special emphasis on novel intelligent control and
information technology issues for energy conservation. The Centre is a
technological bridge between countries of Eastern, Central and Western Europe.
Human Resources
The staff of the
Centre consists of 62 persons (incl. 9 full Professors, 6 senior Scientists, 34
Scientists, 7 technicians and 6 administrative staff). At present there are also
48 Ph.D. students, about 60 graduate students at M.Sc. level.
Training
possibility
The Centre offers
courses in: power electronics, control and robotics. A very important part of
PELINCEC activities is concentrating on short courses, workshops and
specialized trainings for participants from industry, which creates knowledge by
the need of modern technology in the area of activities of the Centre. There is
also a opportunity for foreign students to study in the Centre on both M.Sc. and
Ph.D. levels.
Scientific and
industrial cooperation
The Centre has
bilateral agreements with 17 foreign Scientific institutions from all over the
world. The national network consists of more than 20 Polish research institutes
and universities.
Since many years
the Institute established numerous contacts with industrial partners. Currently
it has the cooperation with the following companies: Newage (UK), Voltamper –
Pretoria (South Africa), Danfoss (DK), MEDCOM (PL), APS Poland (PL), TWERD –
Toruń (PL), POLSONIC – Warsaw (PL).
