Antonio Morandi holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering. Since 2006 he has been with the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering where is appointed professor of Elements of Electrical Engineering, Electric Energy Storage and Applied Superconductivity. He is also supervisor of PhD programs on Applied Superconductivity. His research interests are on power applications of High-Temperature Superconductors and advanced energy systems. He has coordinated several research projects in this field funded by Public Agencies and by private companies and has contributed to the prototyping of superconducting power apparatus (FCL and SMES) and to the development of modelling and design tools. Antonio Morandi is the author of about 50 technical papers published in international journals and conferences. He is the inventor of two patents. He is a reviewer of research projects in the energy sector for the European Commission, the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities, and Research and foreign research institutes. He has given several invited talks at international conferences and research associations and has moderated several technical discussions. He is a member of the Italian mirror Committee IEC TC90 – Superconductivity and is a member of the International Steering Committee on HTS Modeling. He has been a member of program committees in international conferences. He has been the chairman of the 5th International Workshop on Numerical Modelling of High-Temperature Superconductors, Bologna-Italy, 2016. Antonio Morandi is a member of the ESAS board. He is a senior member of IEEE and serves as a technical editor for IEEE Transaction on Applied Superconductivity.
