Fuat Kucuk

About Me:

I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Turkey, and worked there as a research assistant for five years. In 2010, I completed my Ph.D. in Electrical and Communication Engineering at Tohoku University in Japan, where I also spent a year as a post-doctoral researcher on a NEDO project. In 2011, I returned to ITU as an assistant professor, teaching courses such as Electrical Machines, Power Electronics, Digital Circuits, and Programming (C and Python). From 2017 to 2019, I worked as a guest and program-specific researcher at Kyoto University. In 2019, I joined Kyoto University of Advanced Science (KUAS) as a junior associate professor and continue to collaborate with Kyoto University. My research focuses on the design and control of special electrical machines, power electronic circuits, and wind energy systems. I’ve developed a soft computing method to evaluate power quality and designed low-cost, high-efficiency generators for wind power. Recently, I proposed a Variable Magnet Switched Reluctance Motor (VM-SRM) for EVs, combining adjustable performance with affordability. I'm a member of IEEE and actively contribute as a reviewer and committee member for journals and conferences. I'm fluent in Japanese and enjoy working with students who are motivated to grow as engineers and researchers.
