Jan M. Schellekens

Jan M. Schellekens is a part-time Assistant Professor in the Electromechanics and Power Electronics group at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Concurrently, he works as a power electronics specialist at Applied Micro Electronics (AME) B.V., focusing on bridging academic research with industrial applications.

Academic Background:

• Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering (2002) from Fontys University of Applied Sciences
• Master's in Electrical Engineering (2007) from Eindhoven University of Technology

His research expertise spans power electronics topologies, modulation strategies, and control techniques for isolated converters and motor drive systems. Earlier work during his PhD involved high-precision power amplifiers for lithographic and medical systems, including the development of a nanometer-accurate liquid-cooled servo amplifier at ASML. Current projects emphasize enabling technologies for the global energy transition.

Recent publications highlight advancements in zero-voltage switching, resonant converters, and torque control optimization, with a focus on enhancing power density and energy efficiency. Collaborations include industry partnerships with ASML and Applied Micro Electronics, alongside invited talks at academic events like the ECPE Online Tutorial on High-Precision Power Electronics (2021).

Teaching & Supervision: Schellekens lectures on motor drive systems and supervises graduate and PhD students at TU/e. His educational contributions include courses on linear/planar motors for high-precision systems (since 2013), rotary permanent magnet machines (since 2015), and power electronics design (since 2016).
