Under the direction of CTO Jaroslaw Rzepecki, PhD, and CEO and founder Dominic Vergine, Monumo redesigns electric motors by fusing deeptech innovation and machine learning with engineering know-how.

With the use of its proprietary technology, a deeptech-generated design for a switching reluctance motor (SRM*) has already been produced. This motor is now smoother and quieter due to a 50% reduction in torque ripple throughout the driving cycle. It may find greater use in a larger variety of electric motor applications.
