Profile
TU/e is one of Europe's leading research universities in engineering science and technology and in the same time a part of the Dutch 3TU-Federation together with Delft University of Technology and the University of Twente.
The Electromechanics and Power Electronics (EPE) within the Electrical Engineering Faculty carries out fundamental research on enabling energy conversion theory, methods and technologies on which future developments in electromechanics, power electronics, energy storage and motion systems are depending. In the numerous projects of the EPE group both fundamental and practical aspects are addressed and often a mechatronic system approach is required, in which not only specialists from the fields of electromechanics and power electronics but also from electromagnetics, material science, control engineering, mechanical engineering and thermodynamics are involved.

Swarm of Smart Marbles to Inspect Pipelines
A swarm of marbles that flows through your intestines in order to detect thickening. It sounds like science fiction, but it's closer to reality than you might think. Engineers have developed sensors that are able to inspect hard-to-reach or even inaccessible environments.9 Oct 2019
Ioniqa
Ioniqa was founded in 2009 as a spin off from the Eindhoven University of Technology.24 Sep 2019
Innovative heat battery gets 7 million euro grant from EU
The innovative battery uses thermochemical material to store renewable energy in an inexpensive and lossless way. This helps to bridge longer periods, especially during winter months, when there is less or no energy from sun, wind or other sustainable sources.16 May 2019
Fluoride radically improves the stability of perovskite solar cells
Researchers have discovered that adding a small amount of fluoride to perovskite leaves a protective layer, increasing stability of the materials and the solar cells significantly.2018

New epilepsy warning device could save thousands of lives
A new high-tech bracelet detects 85 percent of all severe night-time epilepsy seizures. That is a much better score than any other technology currently available. The researchers involved think that this bracelet can reduce the worldwide number of unexpected night-time fatalities in epilepsy patients.23 Oct 2018
Glow-in-the-dark paper as a rapid test for infectious diseases
Researchers present a practicable and reliable way to test for infectious diseases. All you need are a special glowing paper strip, a drop of blood and a digital camera.1 Oct 2018
Thermal stable perovskite solar cell
The thermal stability was tested over a period of 3.000 hours. After this thermal stress test, the cell performance showed still 93% of the initial performance.12 Sep 2018
Using biosensors to deliver personalized doses of antibiotics
A team has come up with a portable biosensor that can measure the amount of vancomycin in a patient's blood stream, enabling doctors to better control the dosage and reduce harmful side effects. Their technology could eventually be used for other antibiotics as well.14 Jun 2018
