REASERCH INTEREST
Applied Superconcductivity:
-
Development of electric power devices (fault current limiter, transformer
device, flywheel) based on high temperature superconductors (HTS) and
analysis of their application in power systems;
-
Development of HTS fast operating electronic switches;

Experimental and theoretical investigation of magnetic and thermal processes
in HTS (penetration of magnetic field, AC losses, nucleation and propagation
of normal zone in bulk and thin film specimens);
Eddy currents and AC losses in magnetic shields.
