RESEARCH PROFILE

L茅o Friedrich is a part-time researcher in the Electromechanics and Power Electronics Group within the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒). His research focuses on the numerical modeling of low-frequency electromagnetic problems, in particular involving eddy currents and nonlinear phenomena, within the context of design and shape optimization of magnetic devices. L茅o develops tailored time- and frequency-domain finite-element solvers, in the framework of isogeometric analysis (IGA), which aims for fast and accurate computations of steady-state solutions of electromagnetic and thermal field distributions on computer-aided design (CAD) models of electrical machines.

I foster innovative solutions that shape the design of next-generation industrial systems.

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND

In 2013, he finished the intensive two-year curriculum 芦classes pr茅paratoires禄 in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Sciences (MPSI/PSI) at Lyc茅e Marcelin Berthelot, Saint-Maur-des-Foss茅s, France. During the summer of 2015, he visited NCTU, Hsinchu, Taiwan as an exchange student, where he researched transport modeling, electrical characterization, and cross-section shape optimization of Gate-All-Around MOSFET's Arrays. Later that year, he spent four months as an exchange student in NTNU, Trondheim, Norway, where he studied optics and functional materials. In 2016, he received his 芦dipl么me d鈥檌ng茅nieur禄 which is equivalent to an M.Sc. degree in Engineering, specialized in Physics and Nanoscience, from the 芦Grande 脡cole禄 Phelma - Grenoble INP, Universit茅 Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France. As of 2016, L茅o joined the Eindhoven University of Technology, where he conducted his Master鈥檚 Graduation project, researching and modeling piezoelectric and electromagnetic solutions for harvesting vibrational energy. In 2020, he obtained his Ph.D. degree (cum laude) from the Eindhoven University of Technology for his thesis entitled: Isogeometric analysis of nonlinear eddy current problems. After completing a one-year PostDoc in the same group, he joined ASML as a Mechatronics Design Engineer specialized in electromagnetic actuation and large cross-talk simulations. Since 2023, he works for the European Patent Office as a patent examiner in the field of electric machines.
