Leo Friedrich

In 2013, he finished the intensive two-year curriculum «classes préparatoires» in Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Sciences (MPSI/PSI) at Lycée Marcelin Berthelot, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, 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 «diplôme d’ingénieur» which is equivalent to an M.Sc. degree in Engineering, specialized in Physics and Nanoscience, from the «Grande École» Phelma - Grenoble INP, Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble, France. As of 2016, Léo joined the Eindhoven University of Technology, where he conducted his Master’s 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 cross-talk. Since 2023, he works for the European Patent Office as a patent examiner in the field of electric machines.
