Keen on technology and eager to learn industrial needs, challenges and trends, I aim to contribute to the technological innovation at Sirris. With years of experience as a researcher and multidisciplinary engineering professional, closing the gap between market industrial needs and academic expertise fascinates me. Do you have an (electro)magnetic engineering puzzle for me to solve? Happy to oblige!
Expertise
- Magnetic material applications e.g. electrical machines and transformers
- Magnetostriction, vibration and noise
- Finite Element(FE) computation e.g. electromagnetic
Work experience
After earning my PhD in 2013, I began my career as a researcher at the UGent Magnetic Lab. In 2016, I joined Pauwels Transformers as a member of the global R&D group, focusing on electromagnetic calculations for transformer designs and design rules for low-noise transformers. Since 2019, I have been working at Sirris as part of the Metal Team, contributing to various research and industrial projects on multi-disciplinary topics. Recently, my work has concentrated on magnetic and electromagnetic applications, numerical modelling, and 3D-printed magnetic materials. In collaboration with the Additive Manufacturing Team at Sirris, I am working to bring the industrial application of soft and hard magnetic materials to life.
Studies
