Marco Chiado Caponet

Prof. Dr. Marco Chiado Caponet is a Professor of Power Electronics at Berlin University of Technology. His research focuses span power electronics, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductors for applications in electric vehicles, photovoltaic systems, and high-efficiency inverters.

• Education: Master's (1995) and Ph.D. (2000) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering from Polytechnic of Turin.
• Professional History: Developed power electronics at Prima Electronics (1996–1997), research assistant at Polytechnic of Turin (1997–1999), and visiting researcher at RWTH Aachen (1998–1999). Later served as Ministerial Official (2004–2008), Director of the Don Bosco Institute (2008–2014), and held professorships at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences (2014–2016), Ravensburg-Weingarten University (2015), Wismar University (2016–2020), and Berlin University of Technology (since 2020).

Research Trends: Specializes in EMC-optimized inverter design, WBG semiconductor characterization (GaN/SiC), and thermal performance for industrial and traction applications. Publications highlight advancements in low-cost power factor correction, noise suppression, and high-efficiency photovoltaic inverters.
