About

Power Electronics Engineer (M.Sc. Electronics Engineering) with a strong track record in designing and validating advanced energy-conversion systems. I have delivered Battery Management Systems for refrigerated-transport fleets, developed high-efficiency DC–DC and AC–DC converters up to 30 kW, and prototyped resonant coils for wireless mobile-charging platforms. My toolkit includes MATLAB/Simulink for control-algorithm development, LTspice and PSIM for circuit-level analysis, and PLECS for system-level thermal and EMI optimisation. Comfortable taking concepts from schematic to hardware test, I thrive in interdisciplinary, hands-on environments and enjoy translating simulation insights into reliable, field-tested hardware. At the University of Twente I am eager to contribute this mix of modelling rigour and lab experience to the Mobile Modular Charger project, advancing scalable power converters and intelligent BMS solutions for next-generation electric aircraft and heavy-duty EVs.
