Roberto Tinarelli was born in Bologna on March, 21st, 1974.
On February, 16th, 2000, he received a master degree in
Electrical Engineering (100/100) from the University of Bologna by
discussing the thesis entitled "Development and calibration of a
programmable system for power quality measurement"(supervisor Prof.
Renato Sasdelli, correlators Prof. Domenico Mirri, Prof. Lorenzo
Peretto).
In March of that year he started a four-months
collaboration with the Department of Electrical Engineering
of the same University aimed at the implementation and validation
of codes for the analysis of quasi - periodic signal (scientific
responsible Prof. Renato Sasdelli).
In the first session of the year 2000 he obtained the
qualification to practice the profession of engineer.
On September 28th, 2000 he was called up for military service at
the Public Relations Department of the Policlinico S. Orsola -
Malpighi in Bologna but on March, 15th, 2001 is placed on leave in
advance for scientific merits.
In January 2001, Ing. Tinarelli won the competition for
admission to the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the Polytechnic
of Milano. Therefore, from 2001 to 2004 he followed the three-year
PhD School (XVI cycle) at the Department of Electrical Engineering
of that University and developed the research activities in the
field of Electrical Measurement and, in particular, the study and
the metrological characterization of methods for the analysis of
non-periodic signals. This activity was carried out in close
collaboration with the research units of the University of Bologna(
led by Prof. Renato Sasdelli first and then by Prof. Lorenzo
Peretto) and the Polytechnic of Milan, led by Prof. Alessandro
Ferrero. On May 10th, 2004, he obtained, with honors, the title of
Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering by discussing the
thesis entitled "Analysis of discrete and continuous-spectrum
non-periodic signals: uncertainty evaluation and characterization
of the Metrological Instruments"
In September 2002 he won a two-year position as
temporary researcher launched by the Department of Electrical
Engineering of University of Bologna for working in the
research project "A System for the measurement of
electromagnetic pollution in an industrial environment." The
research grant was renewed for the years 2004 - 2006 with the title
"Measurement systems based on DSP distributed architecture for the
measurement of electromagnetic fields: new acquisition system and
performance analysis."
In October 2006 he won a two-year PostDoc position launched by a
the University of Bologna for a project entitled "Design,
development and metrological characterization of smart sensors for
the measurement of electromagnetic quantities in power system
distribution networks."
In 2009 and in 2010 he won the application of the Faculty of
Engineering of the University of Bologna for the appointment
of adjunct professor for the course "Measurement and Testing of
Electrical Machines and Systems" (master degree in Electrical
Engineering)
In May 2010 he became Assistant Professor in "Electrical
and Electronic Measurement" and on October, 1st
of the same year he joint with the Department of Electrical
Engineering of University of Bologna.
In December 2013 he got the National Qualification as Associate
Professor of Electrical and Electronic Measureuments
Since 2001 he is member of IEEE as well as IEEE Instrumentation
& Measurement Society. Since 2008 he is also a member of the
IEEE IMS TC39 "Measurements on Power Systems". In 2013 he is
nominated one of the "Outstanding Reviewers" of that year by the
journal IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and
Measurement. In 2014 he is elevated to the IEEE Senior
Member grade. It 's also a member from the foundation of
the Italian Electrical and Electronic Measurement Association
(GMEE).
He is regular reviewer for the journal "IEEE
Transaction on Instrumentation & Measurement”. Moreover, he
is author or coauthor of more than 100 scientific
publications and co-inventor of several international patents.
