Biografia
Paolo Pescetto (IEEE member) received the Ph.D. (Hons.) degree in design and senorless control of high-anisotropy synchronous motor drives, including self-commissioning techniques and advanced position estimation algorithms from Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, in 2019. He is an Associate Professor with Politecnico di Torino. Since fall 2019, he has been working as a Researcher and tenure-track Lecturer with the Energy Department, Politecnico di Torino. He is a member of the Power Electronics Innovation Center (PEIC) of Politecnico di Torino. In 2014, he was an Erasmus Student with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. He authored or coauthored 70+ scientific works, with 20 IEEE journal papers and five patents. Since 2022, he has been the Vice Chair of the IEEE IA/IE/PEL North Italy Joint Chapter. His main research interests include synchronous motor drives, sensorless control, selfcommissioning techniques, thermal models, and integrated battery chargers for EVs. Prof. Pescetto has been an Associate Editor of IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION since 2024. He was the recipient of five IEEE paper awards and two IEEE Ph.D. thesis awards.
