معرفی
Antonino Sferlazza is an Associate Professor in the Polytechnic School at the University of Palermo, specializing in Control Systems Engineering and Power Electronics. His research focuses on advanced control strategies for electric drives, power converters, and robotics systems. He has taught courses such as Automotive Control Systems, Automatic Controls, and Dynamic Systems Identification and Filtering across multiple engineering disciplines, including Electronics and Aerospace Engineering.
His work emphasizes sensorless control of motors (e.g., BLDC, PMSM), DC-DC converter design for automotive and energy systems, and nonlinear control methodologies. Notable contributions include studies on Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) switches for electric vehicle recharging, and robust disturbance rejection control for DC microgrids. He has supervised numerous theses on topics like drone propulsion systems, ROV control, and predictive control algorithms for inverters.
His research also extends to localization systems using inertial data and hybrid observers, as well as applications in renewable energy (e.g., micro wind turbines) and automotive systems (e.g., exhaust energy recovery). Sferlazza contributes to both theoretical advancements and experimental validation, publishing in journals and conferences on control systems, power electronics, and robotics.
