Dominique Rolle

Dominique Rolle is a Full Professor at the Haute école d'ingénierie et d'architecture de Fribourg (HEIA-FR) within the Energy Institute. She leads research in high-voltage engineering, focusing on predictive maintenance for power components and advanced measurement technologies. Her current project (DCHVA) develops dry capacitors using additive techniques under Innosuisse funding.

• Teaches BSc/MSc programs in High Voltage Engineering and Metrology
• Directed €190k+ projects including predictive transformer monitoring using machine learning and UHF field analysis

Research emphasizes high-voltage testing methodologies, including partial discharge detection and dielectric material characterization. Operates a state-of-the-art high-voltage laboratory with facilities for lightning impulse testing, thermal aging simulation, and microstructural analysis.

Recent work focuses on low-power voltage transformers for transient monitoring and CR-divider performance benchmarks. Collaborates with industry partners like Gradesens and BKW on real-world installations.
