Short biography
| Antonella Ragusa received the degree in Electrical Engineering with honours from the University of Palermo in 2001; in 2006 at the same University, she received the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering developing her research activity within the group of Converters, Electrical Machines and Drives at the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Palermo, within the Institute on Intelligent System for Automation (ISSIA), now Institute of Marine Engineering (INM) of the National Research Council (CNR) and within the ELASIS-FIAT. From the November 2006 to December 2007 she worked as consultant at FIAT GROUP AUTOMOBILES (Turin) within the group of Engineering & Design on topics related to Virtual Analysis of Body Electronics. Since January 2008 she has been a permanent researcher at the Institute of Marine Engineering (INM), of CNR. She was a Marie Curie Research Fellow (MSCA-IF) at De Montfort University of Leicester, United Kingdom, in 2019-2021, developing the project “Electromagnetic Time Reversal for on-line Partial Discharge Location in Transmission and Distribution Networks – emiT”. The research activity was developed in collaboration with The École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, and HVPD ltd. in Manchester, UK. From December 2021 to March 2022, she worked as Senior Power Electronics Engineer at Third Equation ltd. in Edinburgh Scotland, UK. She is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. She is a senior member of IEEE. She is a member of IEEE EMC Society Technical Committee TC7 – “Low Frequency EMC” and of the CIGRE WG C4.68 – “EMC issues in modern and future power systems”. She serves as reviewer for international conferences and journals. |
