Biography:
| Dr. Maeve Duffy, graduated from the National University of Ireland, Galway in 1997 with a Ph.D. in Power Electronics. She worked with the PEI Technologies group at NMRC, Cork from 1997 to 2001. While there, she participated in the EU funded project COMPRISE; her work involved the development of circuit models for integrated magnetic components formed in MCM-L technology. Since 2001, she has been lecturing in the Department of Electronic Engineering at NUI Galway, and is carrying out research with the PEI Technologies group there. Her main research area is in integrated and planar magnetics, and includes applications such as VRM inductors, wearable generators and magnetic sensors. She has extensive experience in Finite Element Analysis modelling of magnetic components. She is a member of the IEEE. |
