DR. ASIFUL HABIB

Dr. Asiful Habib is a dedicated researcher specializing in electrical machine design, renewable energy, and electric vehicles. He is currently serving as a Lecturer at the Universiti Malaya Power & Energy Dedicated Advanced Centre (UMPEDAC), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He obtained his PhD in 2024 from the National University of Malaysia (UKM), where his research focused on the design and prototyping of a multi-stage, multi-phase, fully coreless axial-flux permanent-magnet (AFPM) generator. His work aimed to enhance the power density of electrical machines by leveraging the coreless concept and overcoming challenges associated with non-ferromagnetic materials. During his doctoral studies, he successfully designed and prototyped a 1.3 kW AFPM generator optimized for renewable energy applications, which led to a patent application for its innovative design. Prior to his doctoral research, Dr. Habib completed his M.Phil. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Malaya in 2020. He gained extensive research experience as a Research Assistant at both UKM and UMPEDAC, where he contributed to the development of a smart transportation system laboratory. This facility integrated renewable energy sources (wind and solar), lightweight generators, and electric vehicle (EV) battery thermal management systems, advancing sustainable transportation technologies. Dr. Habib is highly skilled in Ansys Maxwell-based simulations for motor and generator applications in EVs and wind energy systems, complemented by practical expertise in real-time hardware performance evaluation. His research also covers power system resilience, with a particular focus on diagnosing and mitigating electrical machine winding faults through multi-phase generator modeling and prototyping. Beyond his research, he is actively engaged in academic training and mentoring, conducting workshops and guiding undergraduate students in projects such as EV battery cooling systems, which resulted in successful working prototypes. Dr. Habib has authored multiple ISI-indexed journal articles, IEEE conference papers, book chapters in the fields of electrical power systems, renewable energy, and machine design. His contributions significantly advance sustainable energy solutions, and he remains committed to pioneering innovations in electrical machines and renewable energy systems.
