Alberto Bellini is a full professor of electric machines and
drives.
His main research interests are in the area of power conversion and
generation from renewable energy sources, of electric drives and
diagnosis of electric machines, and of circular economy.
He graduated in Electronic Engineering (full marks and honours) at
the University of Bologna in 1998. He got his PhD in Electronic
Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Bologna in
1998.
From 1999 to 2004 he was an assistant professor of electrical
engineering at the University of Parma.
From 2004 to 2013 he was an assistant professor of electric
