Overview

Join the University of Twente’s Power Electronics group to pioneer the next generation of wide-bandgap, high-efficiency converters for solar-integrated electric buses and last-mile delivery vehicles. This PhD will develop automotive-grade DC‑DC and bidirectional converter systems that enable vehicle‑integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) and intelligent charging hubs under the Horizon Europe project SUN‑TRANS – Solar Urban e‑Mobility Transition.

Cities worldwide are racing toward zero‑emission mobility. The Horizon Europe project SUN‑TRANS-ranked #1 in its EU call, unites leading universities, OEMs, and technology companies to develop solar‑integrated electric buses, smart charging hubs, and advanced grid services.

Within this project, the University of Twente is involved in developing multi‑port, high‑efficiency converters based on SiC/GaN wide‑bandgap devices and resonant topologies to achieve > 98% efficiency.

Responsibilities

• You will design, simulate, and experimentally validate DC‑DC and DC‑AC converter prototypes for vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) and PV-powered charging stations, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
• Working in an interdisciplinary environment, you will collaborate closely with European partners such as TÜBITAK MAM, Siemens, University of Warwick, Bozankaya, and ODTÜ‑GÜNAM, and contribute to pilot demonstrations in Romania, Türkiye, and Spain.

The project provides a good mix of hands‑on lab development, modelling, and system‑level optimization in one of Europe’s most vibrant research ecosystems for sustainable energy and transport.
