Ali Kholghi is a mechanical engineer with over seven years of experience in mechanical design, analysis, and thermal management. He is currently a Project Research Associate at Tampere University, Finland, where he researches oil spray cooling for EV motors as a promising next-generation thermal management technique. His work combines CFD simulations and experimental testing to evaluate cooling performance, optimize nozzle design, and improve motor reliability and lifespan. With prior R&D experience at MOTOGEN and MAPFAN, he brings both academic and industrial expertise to advancing innovative cooling solutions that address the challenges of high-power electric drivetrains.

Tampere University, established in 2019 through the merger of the University of Tampere and Tampere University of Technology and—together with Tampere University of Applied Sciences—one of Finland’s most multidisciplinary communities, conducts leading thermal management research for electrified powertrains, batteries, and power electronics.
