Curriculum Vitae
Spasoje Miric received B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, School of Electrical Engineering in 2012, 2013, and 2018, respectively, focusing on power electronics systems and drives. In 2021, he defended his second Ph.D. thesis at ETH Zurich at the Power Electronic Systems Laboratory (PES) in the advanced mechatronic systems area. More specifically, during his Ph.D. project, he focused on linear-rotary actuator systems with magnetic bearings, resulting in two new machine topologies patented. Since 2021, he has been with PES as a post-doc researcher, focusing on WBG power converter optimization with hard and soft-switching, new modulation techniques of flying capacitor converters, wireless power transfer systems, and eddy-current-based position sensor systems.
He was appointed Ass. Professor and Head of the Innsbruck Drives and Energy Systems Laboratory at the University of Innsbruck (UIBK) on Jan. 1, 2023. DDr. Miric proposed a novel self-bearing actuator topology and a generalized complex space vector calculus for linear-rotary machines. He has published 30+ scientific papers in international journals and conference proceedings and filled 7 patents. He has presented 2 educational seminars at leading international conferences and received 5 IEEE Transactions and Conference Prize Paper Awards.
