Paul Sente

Paul Sente was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1955; he received the degree of Electrical Engineer from the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium in 1978.
From 1978 to 1985, he was Assistant with the Laboratory of Electrical Measurements at the same University where he contributed to the development of microprocessor based instrumentation. He then has been a research engineer with the Laboratory of Electrotechnics and Instrumentation, working in the field of the digital control of DC and AC machines. In 1995, he became principal engineer in the technical staff of the University. At those times, his research activities focused on the design of DSP based development platforms for easy evaluation of the efficiency of AC machines digital control algorithms. From 2002 to 2004, he was involved in several European project (POA-VIB … DRESS) concerning the design of power electronic systems to be used in aeronautic. In 2010, due to the restructuring of the University, Paul was appointed head of the LACTION laboratory (Smart Sensors and Actuators, Power Electronics) of the new Institute IMMC (Institute of Mechanics, Materials and Civil Engineering) which includes Mechatronics.
Concerning his activities in the field of logistics, Paul Sente became associated member of the "IT" service of the University (SGSI: Service Général du Système d'Information).
P. Sente is co-author of one book entitled "Introduction à l'électronique et ses applications en instrumentation" (Edition: Tec & Doc from Lavoisier, 2001) and author or co-author of about forty five journal or conference papers. He is also the author of the report entitled “Acquisition et traitement des signaux de mesure à l'aide de microprocesseurs” published in the document database of Electronic tests and measurements of the "Techniques de l'ingénieur " (2011, Edition TI, Paris, France). Since academic year 2007-2008, he is in charge of the "Power Electronic" course taught at ECAM (industrial engineer higher education college, member of the "Haute Ecole Léonard de Vinci", Brussels).
