Professor, Department of Electrical and Information Engineering Energy
University of Bologna, Italy

Biography

Ugo Reggiani received the Laurea degree (with honors) in electrical engineering from the University of Bologna in 1969. He was appointed Assistant at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Bologna in 1971, Assistant Professor in 1976, and Full Professor of Electrotechnics in 1980. He was Head at the same University of both the Institute of Electrotechnics from 1989 to 1995, and the Department of Electrical Engineering from 1995 to 2001. He was coordinator of the Doctorate in Electrical Engineering from 1988 to 1998. Since 2002 he is Chairman of the Board of professors of the Electrical Engineering Courses. His main research interests concern electromagnetic field theory, analytical and numerical methods for the analysis and synthesis of electromagnetic and electromechanical devices, analysis of switched networks, high-frequency modeling of wound components, electrical characterization of renewable energy sources and currently electromagnetic compatibility. He is co-Author or Author of more than 100 papers.

Research Interest

The research activity of Prof. Ugo Reggiani has begun with a theoretical-experimental study on hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells in 1970. Afterwards his scientific interests has concerned frequency control of induction motors, electromagnetic field theory, analytical and numerical methods for the analysis and synthesis of electromagnetic and electromechanical devices and apparatus, modeling and analysis of switched networks, high-frequency modeling of wound components, electrical characterization of renewable energy sources (fuel cells and photovoltaic modules). During the last years his research activity has been mainly focused on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC): electromagnetic shielding, conducted disturbances in ac motors supplied by inverters, compact environments for EMC testing, radiated emissions from cables and printed circuit boards, analysis of electromagnetic interference (EMI) source mechanisms, conducted and radiated disturbances from switching converters, modelling of electrical and magnetic properties of dispersive materials for shielding effectiveness prediction, electromagnetic coupling inside metallic enclosures.
