He recently (2014) went on his own as a consultant, forming E-Motors Consulting, LLC, in Menomonee Falls, WI, for technology and intellectual property investigation in electrical machines, electromagnetic devices, and their applications, particularly in the energy conversion and transportation fields. An expert witness with court experience, he holds 53 issued US patents and has three patent applications under review. Dr. Lequesne authored or co-authored twenty-five papers in referred journals, for which he received eleven Best Paper Awards, eight from the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS), including two Transactions awards, and three from the Society of Automotive Engineers. He was elected an IEEE Fellow in 1997, and is the recipient of the 2016 IEEE Nikola Tesla Award. Dr. Lequesne is currently the Chair of the IEEE Transportation Electrification Community and is past President (2011-2012) of the IEEE Industry Applications Society.
