Dr. Jill Miscandlon is a Senior Manufacturing Engineer at the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS), part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult. Jill graduated from the University of Strathclyde with a PhD and BSC (Hons) in mathematics before joining the Advanced Forming Research Centre (now a technical centre within NMIS). For six years she has led large-scale CR&D projects on novel forming processes, such as flow forming and spinning, including the SAMULET (Strategic Affordable Manufacturing in the UK through Leading Environmental Technologies) and Manufacturing Portfolio projects. Currently, Jill is leading two grand challenges for the EPSRC’s Future Electrical Machines Manufacturing Hub, including developing the work package around sustainable manufacture and the circular economy of electrical machines. Jill’s knowledge and expertise also inform and direct the electrification strategy within NMIS and the wider University of Strathclyde community.

The key focus in the realm of e-motors lies at the intersection of lightweight design, optimized manufacturing, and cost savings, with an emphasis on retaining value through circular processes. By crafting e-motors with lightweight materials and streamlined construction, their energy efficiency through life is optimized. Furthermore, through efficient remanufacturing processes and a commitment to secondary applications, these e-motors are afforded a second life, significantly reducing waste, and preserving valuable resources. In this circular economy approach, sustainability is paramount, and the motors can be designed to maintain their performance while minimizing environmental impact.
