Prof. David Gerada is a full professor at the University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK. He received the Ph.D. degree in high-speed electrical machines from the University of Nottingham in 2012. From 2007-2016 he was with the R&D Department at Cummins Inc.

At Cummins he pioneered the design and development of high speed electrical machines, transforming a challenging technology into a reliable one suitable for the transportation market, and establishing industry-wide used metrics for such machinery. In 2016 he joined the University of Nottingham as a Senior Fellow in Electrical Machines, responsible for developing state of the art electrical machines for future transportation which push existing technology boundaries, while propelling the new technologies to high technology readiness levels (TRL).

Prof. Gerada is a Chartered Engineer in the U.K. and a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

March 2023, Prof. Gerada was invited to NITech for Joint Research on a study on Design and Control of Electric Machines for Transportation Applications, hosted by Prof. Takashi Kosaka.
