A/Professor Reza Razzaghi
Industry Advisory Committee Chair ECSE
I received my PhD degree from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2016. From April 2016 to October 2017, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at EPFL.
I have been the recipient of the Distinguished Ph.D. Thesis Award of EPFL, Best Paper Award of the IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Basil Papadias Best Paper Award at the IEEE PowerTech conference in 2013, and the Best Paper Award at the ASAIEM conference in 2017. My work on the Electromagnetic Time Reversal has led to a commercialised patent.
My current research interests include smart grids, distributed energy resources, electric vehicles, and integration of renewable energy resources in power networks.
