Mr. Ygor Pereira Marca received his BSc degree in Electrical Engineering in 2017 from the Federal University of Technology Parana, Curitiba, Brazil, and his MSc degree in Power Electronics in 2019 from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil. Since 2020, he has been working toward his PhD degree with the Electromechanics and Power Electronics (EPE) Group, Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. His research focuses on modular multilevel converters for high-power charging infrastructure.
Dr. Maurice G. L. Roes received his BSc degree in Electrical Engineering in 2005 and his MSc in 2009, both from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). From 2010 to 2015, he was a PhD candidate in the Electromechanics and Power Electronics Group at the same university. After obtaining his PhD degree, he worked as a researcher in the same research group, and in 2016, he was appointed Assistant Professor there. Maurice Roes is currently an Assistant Professor in the Electromechanics and Power Electronics group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research focuses on switched-mode power conversion and is characterized by a particular interest in the digital control of these circuits. He is vice-chair of PELS of the IEEE joint IAS, PELS & PES Benelux chapter.
Mr. Cornelis G.E. Wijnands received his M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 1994. In 1994, he joined Prodrive Technologies B.V., where he started to work on the development of power electronics and control. He is currently a Senior Electronics Architect with Prodrive Technologies B.V., Son, The Netherlands. In 2009, he became a part-time Assistant Professor with the Electromechanics and Power Electronics group at Eindhoven University of Technology, where he has been a Full Professor since 2017. He is currently a part-time Professor with the Electrical Energy Systems group at Eindhoven University of Technology. His research interests include high-precision amplifiers and smart grid electronics.
Dr. Jorge L. Duarte received his MSc degree in 1980 from the University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and his PhD degree in 1985 from the National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine-Nancy (France). From 1988 till 2022, he was a Lecturer in the Electromechanics and Power Electronics group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), with a focus on modeling, simulation, and design optimization of power electronic systems, especially on the control of grid-interactive power converters. He is also interested in specialized topics in electromagnetism, such as the assessment of forces in permanent-magnet devices. Since October 2000, Dr. Duarte has regularly been an engineering consultant in the field of power electronic amplifiers for several high tech companies in the Eindhoven region.
Dr. Henk Huisman is an Associate Professor in the Electromechanics and Power Electronics group of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). He received his MSc degree in 1984 and his PhD degree in 1992, both from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the field of Power Electronics. He worked towards his PhD while employed at TU Delft as Assistant Professor, a position he held from 1984 until 1996. Between 1996 and 2006, he was employed by CCM (Centre for Concepts in Mechatronics), now Sioux. From 2006 to 2015, he was a staff member of Philips Electronics, where he became a Senior Design Engineer in Power Electronics in 2011. He was with ATB Technologies (part-time) in 2015-2016. He has worked at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) part-time since 2010, first as a part-time Assistant Professor and since 2016 as Associate Professor. His research and teaching concern precision power amplifiers, motor drives, and isolated power converters, with an emphasis on soft-switching circuits and interleaved and stacked (multilevel) circuit topologies, enabling high PWM (pulse-width modulation) frequency and control bandwidth while using moderate switching frequencies.
