Luca Giaccone

Luca Giaccone is an Associate Professor at the Department of Energy (DENERG) of the Polytechnic University of Turin. He is a member of the Academic Senate and the Committee for Teaching Coordination. His research focuses on bioelectricity, computational electromagnetics, dosimetry, and the application of machine learning in engineering. He leads the CADEMA research group and has supervised PhD student Junlong Liu in electrical engineering. Giaccone has extensive experience in funded projects including WPT-SAFE and SAFECHARGE, addressing electromagnetic exposure safety in automotive and medical contexts. He holds the Mentoring Polito Project (M2P) award (2023). His teaching includes courses on fundamentals of electrical engineering and electrical machines within the College of Electrical and Energy Engineering.

Research Interests: Giaccone’s work spans numerical dosimetry for human exposure assessment, wireless power transfer systems, and electromagnetic compatibility. He develops data-driven models for traction motors and investigates the impact of electromagnetic fields on medical devices like pacemakers. His projects emphasize safety compliance with international guidelines and the mitigation of magnetic fields in urban and industrial environments.

Key Projects:

• WPT-SAFE (2025–2027): Electromagnetic modeling for automotive wireless charging systems
• SAFECHARGE (2024–2026): Evaluating exposure risks for electric vehicle charging systems
• Virtual Human Models (2015): Validation for electromagnetic safety analysis

Awards: Recognized with the Polito M2P Mentoring award for contributions to academic mentoring.

Consulting & Industry Collaboration: Advised on magnetic field mitigation for welding equipment, substations, and industrial facilities, focusing on occupational safety and environmental compliance.
