Biography
Jeroen De Kooning (1987, Kapellen, Belgium) is assistant professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture of Ghent University since 2019. He received the Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in electromechanical engineering from Ghent University, Belgium, in 2010 and 2015 respectively. He conducted research on optimal current waveform shaping techniques for permanent magnet synchronous machines, optimal control and design of renewable energy drivetrains, maximum power point tracking algorithms and techno-economic optimization using co-design and parametric models. His present research interests include modelling, optimization and control of mechatronic systems, drivetrains and industrial machines in an Industry 4.0 context, with a particular interest in digital twins. He is a member of the Dynamical Systems and Control (DySC) research group and the FlandersMake@UGent EEDT-MP core lab within the Motion Products cluster. He is a senior member of the IEEE and serves in the editorial board of MDPI Processes as topic editor for Energy Systems.
