Ezra van Lanen

Chatterton Award Recipient 2006

for his paper "Current-Zero Characteristics of a vacuum circuit breaker at short-circuit current interruption" (2006 Proc. ISDEIV, pp. 212-215)

Ezra van Lanen was born in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, on 6 February 1975. He obtained his M.Sc. in 2002 at the faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. In 2003, he started his Ph.D. research, which concerns the analysis of electrical signals from short-circuit tests on vacuum circuit breakers. In this project, the measurements were carried out at the High Currents Laboratory of the Eindhoven University of Technology, and at the High Power Laboratory of KEMA, Arnhem. The theoretical part of it (analysing the data and developing models) was done at the Laboratory of Electrical Power Systems of the Delft University of Technology. In 2007, after finishing this project, he started a post-doc position in superconducting magnet technology for fusion (ITER) at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands.
