Dr Dave Staton's PhD research studies at the University of Sheffield in the 1980s centred on the development of CAD software for electric machines.

In 1998, he became the founder of the pioneering company, Motor Design Ltd, with the specific aim of developing the world's first and only motor design software to simplify the complexities of thermal analysis - Motor-CAD.

Dave Staton has presented numerous technical papers at electrical machine design conferences worldwide. Many of these can be downloaded from the publications area of this website.

Dave Staton is regularly invited to present tutorials at conferences and in industry on 'Thermal Analysis of Electric Motors and Generators'.

He now lives with his family amid the lakes and beautiful countryside of Shropshire close to the Welsh borders. Click here for contact details of the UK headquarters of Motor Design Ltd in Shropshire.
