Career overview

Tuur Van Daele was born in Leuven, Belgium in 1995.

In 2018, he received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Ku Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Currently, he is pursuing a PhD degree on fully integrated DC-DC converters for high voltages and large conversion steps at the KU Leuven ESAT-MICAS Research Group under the guidance of prof. dr. ir. Filip Tavernier. For this research, he was granted a Baekeland scholarship in 2018 in collaboration with Melexis.
