Petrus Wilhelmus Nicolaas van Diepen, also known as Pieter, obtained his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering in 2017 and continued pursuing a master's degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on electromagnetics and integrated circuits. To obtain his M.Sc. degree (cum laude), he performed an internship at Sirius Medical in Eindhoven where he investigated wireless localization for medical applications, while his final project at TNO in The Hague focused on the implementation of a Maxwell solver based on time domain surface integral equations. In February 2020 he started his Ph.D. research at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Electromagnetics and MultiPhysics Modeling and Computation lab, which is part of the Electromagnetics research group, under the supervision of prof.dr.ir.M.C. van Beurden and dr. R.J. Dilz.

Petrus Wilhelmus Nicolaas van Diepen, also known as Pieter, is a PhD-student at the Electromagnetics and MultiPhysics Modeling and Computation lab, which is part of the Electromagnetics research group. His research focuses on the stability of Maxwell solvers based on time domain integral equations. These time-domain Maxwell solvers can be used if: the signals are extremely broadband; the materials are time-modulated or behave non-linearly; and/or there is coupling to physical phenomena outside of electromagnetics, such as mechanical expansion and heat transport.

My adoration for physics, mathematics and programming had led to my carreer choice of computational physics.
