Paolo Pozzobon

Paolo Pozzobon serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Naval, Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering (DITEN) at the University of Genoa. He teaches Power Electronics for Energy and Mobility and Software/Hardware Laboratory for Power Electronic Systems across undergraduate and graduate Electrical Engineering programs for academic years 2024-2025 and 2025-2026, demonstrating active engagement in electrical engineering education with specialization in power conversion systems.

His research spans Power Electronics, Electric Drives, Railway Electrification, Energy Storage Systems, Power System Modelling, and Control Systems. Key investigations include multi-input bidirectional DC-DC converter topologies for hybrid energy storage, torque control algorithms for induction motor drives at low switching frequencies, and comprehensive modeling of 2x25 kV autotransformer railway systems. His work integrates optimization techniques like genetic algorithms for parameter estimation in traction networks and emphasizes practical validation through current measurements and transmission line modeling.

Publication trends reveal sustained expertise in railway electrification systems (2006-2008) with recent pivoting toward energy storage and mobility applications. His 2024 works on multi-input converters and torque sub-harmonic reduction highlight current focus on efficiency optimization in power conversion for sustainable transportation, while earlier research established foundational contributions to railway power system modeling and parameter determination through innovative measurement and simulation approaches.
