Curriculum scientifico
(Aggiornato il 30/10/2014)
Marco Tursini received the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of L?Aquila, Italy, in
1987. In the same year he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of L'Aquila as an
Associate Researcher, contributing to the development of the Power Electronics and Drives Laboratory ?F.
Ferri?. He became an Assistant Professor of Power Converters, Electrical Machines and Drives in 1991, and
an Associate Professor in 2002. In 1990, he was Research Fellow at the Industrial Electronics Laboratory,
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne, where he conducted research on sliding mode control of
permanent magnet synchronous motor drives, and in 1994 at the Electrical Machines, Power Electronics and
Control Group, Nagasaki University, studying on parameter estimation in induction machines. Since 1990 he
has been involved in several National Research Projects and took the responsibility of many research contracts
between the University of L'Aquila and industrial partners.
His research interests are focused on advanced control of AC drives, including vector, sensorless and fuzzy
logic control, multi-phase fault-tolerant motors and drives, digital motion control, DSP based systems for realtime implementation, modeling and simulation of electrical drives. He has authored more than 120 technical
papers on these subjects.
Currently he is professor of ?Electrical Automation? for the 2nd Level Specialist Degree Courses in Electric
Engineering, he is vice-president member of the Didactic Council of the same Course, and he is member of the
Council of the PhD School in Industrial & Information Engineering and Economy at the University of
L?Aquila.
He is member of the IEEE Industry Applications Society and reviewer for several International Conferences
and Journals, including ?IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics/ Automatic Control/ Power Electronics/
Industry Applications?, ?The International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and
Electronic Engineering ? (COMPEL), "IET Electric Power Applications", ?American Control Conference?
(ACC), ?Int. Conf. on Electrical Machines? (ICEM). Since 2011 he is member of the Editorial board of the
?Electric Power Components and Systems? Journal.
