Marino Coppola earned his Laurea degree cum laude in
electronic engineering and a Ph.D. degree in electronic and telecommunication
engineering from the University of Napoli Federico II, Italy, in 2008 and 2012,
respectively. From 2012 to 2015 and from 2019 to 2021, he was a
postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electrical Engineering and
Information Technologies at the University of Napoli Federico II. From 2015 to
2018, he was a senior researcher at PNP Lab (a spinoff company of the University
of Napoli Federico II). Currently, he is a research fellow at the Department of
Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies at the University of Napoli
Federico II. He has been a visiting researcher at the Department of Energy
Technology (Aalborg University, Denmark) and Laplace Laboratories (Institut
National Polytechnique of Toulouse, France). He has co-authored 49 papers in
refereed international journals and conference proceedings. His current
research interests include the design and control of power converters for
photovoltaics and distributed power generation systems, the integration of
renewable energy resources into electrical systems, the modulation of multilevel
converters, the design and control of high-efficiency dc-dc converters, and the design
of digital circuits on FPGA.
Adolfo Dannier graduated in 2003 in
Electrical Engineering at the University Federico II of Naples, where he
obtained a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2008, with a dissertation on
multilevel converters with fault-tolerant structures. Since 2020, he has been an
associate professor at the University Federico II in “Converters, Electrical
Machines, and Drives” and teaches “Modelling of Electric Machines and
Converters” and “Power Electronic Converters”. Active in the research topics of
his scientific sector, he has collaborated with national and international research
projects, as attested by numerous and significant scientific publications. His
research interests are mainly targeted at high-performance dynamic drives with PM
motors, conversion equipment, and electrical energy storage for electric
vehicles and for the integration of renewable energy sources.
Pierluigi Guerriero is currently working as an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (DIETI), University Federico II, where he teaches fundamentals of analog and digital electronics and an introduction to microcontrollers in IoT applications. He received the Laurea and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the University Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 2007 and 2012, respectively. In 2014, he authored the book “Dispositivi e Sistemi Fotovoltaici”. He currently leads the DIETI research unit within the PRIN project titled DOGPHOSS. His research interests include the study and design of innovative monitoring and diagnostic tools for photovoltaic devices and systems, as well as the design and the control of power converters for renewable applications.
