Luca Giaccone

Luca Giaccone is an Associate Professor in the Department of Energy (DENERG) at Politecnico di Torino, where he is also a member of the Academic Senate and the Committee for Teaching Coordination. He is affiliated with the College of Electrical and Energy Engineering and leads the CADEMA Research Group. His academic work focuses on computational electromagnetics and human exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Research Interests:

• Bioelectricity and human exposure to low-frequency electric and magnetic fields
• Computational electromagnetics and numerical dosimetry
• Simulation engineering, modeling, and optimal design using MATLAB and Python
• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety of medical devices
• Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, especially in automotive applications

Recent Research Trends: His recent publications center on data-driven modeling of electric motors, surrogate modeling for fast exposure assessment, and the electromagnetic safety of medical implants near WPT systems. He frequently employs learning-based human models and investigates uncertainties in dosimetry, especially under pulsed or multi-frequency exposures.

Scientific Awards and Recognition:

• Mentoring Polito Project (M2P), awarded by Politecnico di Torino on February 16, 2023

Advising and Grants: He supervises PhD student Junlong Liu in Electrical, Electronics, and Communications Engineering. He leads or participates in multiple funded research projects, including WPT-SAFE (2025–2027, national PRIN), SAFECHARGE (2024–2026, international), and various corporate consulting projects on electromagnetic exposure from welding devices, photovoltaic systems, and industrial cabins. He has served as Scientific Manager on over ten consulting and research contracts since 2015.

Labs and Teams: He is a key member of the CADEMA Research Group (DENERG), focusing on computational electromagnetics and electromagnetic safety applications in energy, medicine, and the environment.
