As a doctoral student, my main research activity is focused on modular multilevel converters for storage integration in the grid and in EV charging station.• Definition and studies on new modular charging station topologies and controls• Studies on efficiency-oriented control strategies for MMC/DAB Power Electronics TransformersI'm also actively taking part in research projects in collaboration with companies on the following topics:• Studies on power converters and sensorless control of PMSM for aeronautical applications: efficiency evaluations, MRAS-based sensorless control simulations and digital implementation (Oct. 2023 - Ongoing) • studies on real-time estimation of IGBTs junction temperature for grid-tied NPC converter (Dec. 2023 - Ongoing)• studies on common-mode voltages issues in NPC converter parallelization for BESS integration. Development of equivalent models and evaluation scripts. (March 2022 - Sept. 2023)• Development of testing procedures on grid-connected BESS for a major Italian multinational energy company. In this project, I was involved in various support activities concerning data analysis. (Jan. 2022 - March 2023).

•Teaching assistant for the course "Principles of Electrical Engineering" (2nd year B.Sc., since 2022)•Tutoring activities for electrical measurements lab classes and "Modeling of Electrical Machines and Plants" course(2nd and 3rd year B.Sc., since 2024)•Tutoring activities for "Electrical Drives" lab classes (2nd year M.Sc., 2022)

Six-months visiting period at TokyoTech Power Electronics Laboratory.As a visiting researcher, I was involved in studies on innovative high-power DC-DC converters integrating auxiliary multilevel cascaded cells. My contributions have been:• Evaluation and analytical derivation of a new control strategy aimed to suppress dc-currents. • Losses evaluation of the converter under the new control strategy focusing on the multilevel auxiliary converter. • Testing activities on a small-scale prototype.

Debugging and testing activities on logic and power boards for automotive applications.

Hardware design of a wireless-supplied rotor temperature sensor for electric motors (working prototype). Project carried out in collaboration with the R&D Team of ABB IEC Low Voltage Motors division in Vittuone, Italy.Main Tasks:• Definition of the system configuration according to specifications and budget;• Research activities on semiconductor materials to be used in high-temperature electronics;• Studies on possible data-transmission modes (radio and optical);• Signal conditioning circuit design;• FEM analysis and simulations aimed to design a wireless supply system (Ansys EM, Simulink); • Electrical diagrams definition and PCB design (KiCad);• Testing activities;• Relationships with suppliers.
