معرفی
Fabio Widmer is a PhD researcher at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control (IDSC) within ETH Zürich's Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in mechanical engineering from ETH Zürich in 2015 and 2017, respectively, with distinction, focusing on electric mobility and energy flows during his studies.
His academic background includes:
- B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, ETH Zürich (2015)
- M.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, ETH Zürich (2017)
Widmer's research centers on model-based optimization of thermal and energy management systems for electrified public transport vehicles. His work spans electric buses, hydrogen hybrid vehicles, and charging infrastructure optimization. He has made significant contributions to understanding energy-comfort trade-offs in HVAC systems, developing optimization methods for charging strategies, and creating online-capable control algorithms for hydrogen vehicles. His research combines theoretical modeling with practical applications, utilizing dynamic programming, model predictive control, and scenario-based optimization approaches to address real-world transportation challenges.
Widmer has received recognition for his academic achievements, including two Outstanding Bachelor Awards and a scholarship from ETH Zürich's Excellence Scholarship and Opportunity Programme. His research has resulted in numerous publications in high-impact journals such as Control Engineering Practice, Energy, and Energies, demonstrating both theoretical rigor and practical relevance to sustainable transportation systems.
As part of his research activities, Widmer has contributed to projects including ISOTHERM and Swiss eBus Plus. He was also actively involved with ETH's formula student team AMZ, where student teams develop and compete with self-developed electric race cars, reflecting his hands-on approach to electric mobility research.
