Paul Drumaux

Paul Drumaux (1883, in Hasselt – 1954, in Brussels) was a prize-winning Belgian engineer who wrote on electricity, electrical engineering, and related subjects.[1]

Paul Drumaux received from the University of Liège a degree in mining engineering in 1905 and a degree in electrical engineering in 1908. In 1907 Drumaxu became a supervising engineer at Belgium's PTT (Post, Telegraaf, Telefonie) and in 1919 a docent at Ghent University.[1] He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1932 in Zurich and in 1936 in Oslo.[2]

His brother Leon Drumaux (1879–1942) became director-general of the Ministry of Agriculture of Belgium. His sister Angela Drumaux (1881–1959) was an artist who was a student of Adrien de Witte at the academy of Liège and received in 1913 the triennial prize for painting; she exhibited in 1952 at the Hasseltse Galerie Artes and in 1953 at the Scherpesteen gallery.[1]
