Eric Seversion is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and Grainger Institute Fellow in the University of Wisconsin–Madison's College of Engineering. The Severson Research Group are creating new electromechanical systems to realize a smarter, more sustainable future. Their research is inherently multidisciplinary and relies on finite element modeling (electromagnetic, structural, thermal), circuit simulation, design optimization, control theory, and experimentation. The Severson Research group develops advanced electromechanical systems and has a particular soft spot for magnetic levitation technology.
