Lex van Deursen

Lex van Deursen is an assistant professor with the research group Electrical Energy Systems at the TU/e department of Electrical Engineering, focusing on electromagnetic compatibility. This entails advanced modeling and measurement techniques that will help engineers and scientists to understand and simulate the key factors leading to potential degradation of desired operation of their systems, at an early stage of the design process and alter on after installation. The research focus ranges from 'small' systems (e.g. propagation of disturbances in integrated circuits) to 'large' ones (e.g. lightning protection of large industrial installations and power plants). The innovative modeling and measurement techniques are rooted in advanced analytical electromagnetics, statistical electromagnetics and simulation techniques.

For each current loop you design in a system, nature adds another one that runs through the environment. If their coupling is intended you made a transmitter or receiver. In every other case there is a major problem. The study of electromagnetic compatibility can provide a solution.
