Dr. Christoph Utschick
- Alumnus/Alumna: Organic Metals: Superconductivity and Correlated Electron Systems
Christoph Utschick was member of the Gross group at WMI as a master and Ph.D. student between 2017 and 2021.
Master Thesis: Inductively Coupled Nano-Electromechanics in Flux Tunable Superconducting Resonators (2018)
Ph.D. Thesis: Superconducting Wireless Power Transfer at High Power Densities for Industrial Applications and Fast Battery Charging (2021)
The Ph.D. Thesis of Christoph Utschick was done in close collaboration with Würth Elektronik eiSos GmbH & Co. KG at Garching. He studied wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, which have emerged as a key technology for the future charging infrastructure. Besides full system efficiency, the power densities of the transmission coils are key figures of merit. In his thesis, he developed and the experimental verifified a fully functional WPT system, consisting of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils on the transmitter and the receiver side. Despite a compact coil size, a DC-to-DC efficiency above 97% is achieved.
After finishing his Ph.D. in July 2021, Christoph joined Würth Electronics as a Design Engineer - Custom Magnetics.
