Mattia Ricco received the MSc degree (with honors) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Salerno in 2011 with a thesis entitled “Online Identification of power converters based on the cross-correlation method” obtained during an Erasmus program at the University of Cergy-Pontoise (France).
In 2015 he received the Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Cergy-Pontoise (France) and in Information Engineering from the University of Salerno (Italy) with a PhD thesis entitled “FPGA-Based Implementation of Real-Time Identification Procedures for Adaptive Control in Photovoltaic Applications”.
From 2015 to 2018 he has been a Postdoctoral research fellow at Aalborg University (Denmark) in the Energy Technology Department. The activities concerned the control of modular multilevel converters, the battery management systems and the design of photovoltaic converters with battery integration. In this period, he participated in different projects:
- Multi-level medium voltage (EUDP Project)
Partners: Aalborg University – Energy Technology Department, PowerCon A/S, PowerCon Embedded A/S e KK Wind Solutions A/S.
Activities: Build a MMC prototype, test the sub-modules functionalities, make sub-module power tests, and develop VHDL IP cores.
- Advanced Components for Electro Mobility Usage (EUD Project)
Partners: Aalborg University – Energy Technology Department, Lithium Balance A/S.
Activities: test a cascaded H-bridge multilevel converter in single star configuration with integrated batteries
-
High Efficient PV Inverter (HEPI)
Partners: Aalborg University – Energy Technology Department.
Activities: control and efficiency evaluation of a new PV inverter.
He is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering “Guglielmo Marconi” - DEI, University of Bologna.
In 2013 the research project of his Ph.D thesis was awarded by the “Università Italo Francese” – “Université Franco Italienne” (UIF-UFI) – Bando Vinci. His research interests include power electronics, FPGA/SoC based controllers, modular multilevel converters, battery management systems and photovoltaic systems. He is author of more than 30 scientific papers published in journals and conference proceedings. He is member of IEEE, IEEE Power Electronic Society, IEEE Industrial Electronics Society and IEEE Industry Applications Society.
