CenterfoldKU Leuven
Portrait of the candidate
Four years, one hour

Samuelle Boeckx

KU Leuven · Engineering and technology

A question that would not go away, a method that had to be built twice, and the hour in which all of it is defended in public.

The thesis

“Comfort Charging of Medical Implants Using Safe and Efficient Wireless Power Transfer”

Three questions

  1. Why this topic?

    It began with something that bothered me and would not leave me alone. The field had an answer already, and I did not believe it.

  2. What surprised you?

    How often the interesting result was the one I was not looking for, and how long it took me to stop treating it as noise.

  3. What happens after the defense?

    Sleep, first. Then finding out whether what I learned survives outside the university.

In their words

“At the start I thought I knew the answer. By the third year I knew I had not understood the question.”
