Stefano Grivet Talocia

Stefano Grivet Talocia is a Full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at Polytechnic University of Turin. He serves as Director of the Doctoral School, is a member of the Interdepartmental Center SmartData@PoliTO - Big Data and Data Science Laboratory, and holds positions on the University Committee for Research and the Commission for the Promotion of Library, Archive and Museum Heritage. He is also President of the Doctoral School Council.

His educational background includes a Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in Electronic Engineering (1994) and a Ph.D. in Electronic and Communication Engineering (1998), both from Polytechnic University of Torino. From 1994 to 1996, he worked at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, USA.

Professor Grivet Talocia's research focuses on passive macro-modeling of concentrated and distributed interconnect structures for Signal/Power Integrity, order reduction techniques, and modeling and simulation of fields, circuits, and their interactions. His work spans several key areas including fast simulation of transmission lines (TOPLine technique), macromodeling and model order reduction, simulation methods for fields and circuits, passivity enforcement of lumped macromodels, waveform relaxation techniques, and wavelet applications. His research has significant applications in electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity verification of complex electronic systems.

His recent publications demonstrate strong trends in model order reduction techniques applied to power integrity verification, advanced macromodeling for electromagnetic compatibility, nonlinear circuit analysis, uncertainty quantification in PCB design, and power electronics modeling. These works consistently address practical engineering challenges in high-speed electronic design with emphasis on computational efficiency and accuracy.
