Electromechanical Engineer Specialized in Energy
Power System Engineer @ Elia Transmission Belgium
Hello, I'm Tom Magerat, a young electromechanical engineer specialized in energy, with an additional master's degree in business. Welcome to my website. I created this space to introduce myself, share the different projects I'm working on or have worked on, and give you a glimpse of who I am, what I enjoy, and the vision that drives me
I would describe myself as a naturally optimistic person who believes that every problem has a solution. I enjoy taking initiative, tackling challenges with motivation, and approaching them with an entrepreneurial mindset.
I really enjoy putting theoretical knowledge into practice and building things with my own hands. Whether it is designing, prototyping, programming, or testing, I find great satisfaction in turning ideas into real and practical solutions. Many of the projects presented on this website reflect that hands-on approach.
Since I was young, I have been fascinated by understanding how things work and by technology in general. My main interests include energy systems, electric motors, power electronics, batteries, robotics, and space exploration.
I am particularly interested in helping develop practical solutions to today's energy challenges. I would like to use my skills to have a positive and meaningful impact on the world around me.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. If you are interested in my profile, my projects, or would simply like to connect, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Elia Transmission Belgium · Brussels, Belgium
Real-time operation of the high-voltage power grid, ensuring system static and dynamic stability, frequency control through load-generation balance, voltage regulation, congestion management, and N-1 security compliance.
BYS · Brussels, Belgium
Developing a physiotherapy training device prototype as part of an early-stage startup project alongside my full-time role. Responsibilities include 3D modelling in Fusion 360, component selection, and motor-control implementation with position measurement using an absolute encoder over SPI communication.
Revolta · Brussels, Belgium
Worked on market-analysis-driven inverter selection, commissioning, and development of Modbus-based control software for a home battery energy management system.
UCLouvain – Polytechnic School of Louvain · Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
Supervised exercise sessions in physics, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering courses, including electronics fundamentals. Supported student projects focused on the design, prototyping and testing of basic electrical circuits.
KU Leuven – Faculty of Economics and Business · Brussels, Belgium
Magna Cum LaudeMaster's thesis on the forecast of the economic competitiveness of second-life batteries under multiple carbon pricing scenarios.
UCLouvain – Polytechnic School of Louvain · Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium
Cum LaudeMaster's thesis focused on the design, FEM optimization using COMSOL, construction and testing of an induction motor. Developed a test bench with a Raspberry Pi based closed-loop motor control system and a custom-built analog/digital interface circuit.
Polytechnique Montréal · Montreal, Canada
Courses and projects including introduction to artificial intelligence and a micro-controller project using the UART communication protocol.
Development and commissioning work related to a home battery energy management system, including inverter selection and Modbus-based control software.
