Summary - more information can be found in my personal page: www.mattiamarinelli.eu

Mattia Marinelli (born 1983 in Genoa, Italy) holds a master degree in electrical engineering (2007) and a PhD degree in power systems (2011) from the University of Genoa, Italy. Since 2012, he has been working at the Technical University of Denmark, where he is associate professor in distributed energy resources. His research interests include power system integration studies, wind and solar data analysis, demand-side and electric vehicles management, and distributed energy resources modeling.

Mattia teaches 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 and the Danish projects Topcharge and ACDC.

Since May 2022, 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 is currently formed by 34 researchers from 16 different countries.
