As part of her Master’s in Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente, Amalie spent five months in New Zealand completing an internship at the University of Auckland. She wrote: it was an incredible experience, where I had the opportunity to work with inspiring researchers while exploring a beautiful part of the world.  I joined the Inductive Power Transfer (IPT) research group, where I focused on the implementation of wireless charging technology for electric vehicles in infrastructure. During my research, we developed a strategic planning and optimisation tool to calculate and design the minimum charging infrastructure required for long-haul freight by electric trucks. The results were applied to a real-world case study covering truck freight operations across New Zealand. The research will be presented at the Australasian Transport Research Forum in Sydney this year.
