Dr. Shuangrong You received his MSc degree from Shanghai University, China, in 2018, where his study focused on the design of compact superconducting magnets and superconducting transformers.
After graduation, he worked as an electromagnetic engineer at AllTech Medical Systems, a company specializing in superconducting magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology.
From 2019 to 2023, he pursued his PhD at the Robinson Research Institute in New Zealand – a world renowned centre for applied superconductivity. His doctoral research focused on the experimental measurement and finite element method (FEM) simulation of AC loss in superconducting coils, along with structural optimization to minimize AC loss. He participated in the “Fastest Superconducting Machine” project, funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
Dr. You is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Markus Mueller at the University of Edinburgh since 2023. He is involved in the SuperMachine Project, a superconducting wind turbine initiative funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng).
His current research interests include high-temperature superconducting (HTS) rotating machines, AC loss characterization in HTS coils and devices, and FEM modelling of superconducting systems.
His future research aims to focus on the development and commercialization of ultra low-loss HTS machines.
