E-mobility and Prosumer Integration, Ph.D
Frederiksborgvej 399, 330, S12
4000 Roskilde
Denmark
I am passionate about energy systems and sustainable energy technologies and about closing the gap between theoretical research and practical demonstrations. And I don’t just pursue this professionally: the beauty of working with electric vehicles, photovoltaic systems and distributed energy technologies is that I can test and experience these concepts firsthand. Ultimately, I am driven by the vision of making energy systems more sustainable, resilient, flexible, and user-centric.
I hold a master (2007) and a PhD (2011) in electrical engineering from the University of Genoa, Italy. Since 2012, I have been working at the Technical University of Denmark, where I am a professor in E-mobility in Energy Systems. My research interests include power system integration studies, wind and solar data analysis, demand-side and electric vehicles management, and distributed energy resources modeling.
I teach two courses at master level on wind integration and distributed energy technologies and is involved in several research projects, including the EU projects AHEAD, EV4EU, and FLOW.
Between May 2022 and June 2025, Mattia has been leading the E-mobility and Prosumers Integration section. The section undertakes internationally leading research and teaching in the field of EV technologies, charging infrastructure and flexibility, advanced power electronics, battery energy systems and hybrid AC-DC systems. The research in this section is multidisciplinary and at its peak it was formed by 34 researchers from 16 different countries.
