Biography

Angelo Accetta received his master's degree in Electrical Engineering in 2008, at the University of Palermo, with a thesis entitled `"Control of the air management system in the PEM FCS using predictive control techniques", carried out in collaboration with the Université de Technologie de Belfort - Montbéliard, Belfort, France and with the Institute of Studies on Intelligent Systems for Automation (ISSIA) - National Research Council (CNR).
In 2008 he carried out a specialization course abroad, at the Université de Technologie de Belfort - Montbéliard, to study and develop new methods in the control of the air management system for fuel cell systems.
In 2011 he obtained the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of Palermo, with a thesis entitled `"Application and control of PEM FCS to distributed generation systems", in collaboration with the Institute for Studies on Intelligent Systems for Automation (ISSIA) - National Research Council of Italy (CNR).
Since 2008 he collaborates with the Institute of Intelligent Systems for Automation (ISSIA) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), realizing and managing test benches for the acquisition and processing of data on DSP platforms. He has actively collaborated in the implementation of new energy management strategies for distributed generation systems and the implementation of new sensorless control strategies for permanent magnets synchronous electric motors (PMSM) and for induction motors both rotating (RIM) and linear (LIM).
From September 2012 to October 2013 participates, within a research grant at ISSIA-CNR, to the RITMare project, in the field of hybrid marine propulsion and in the identification and reduction of sources of vibrations in propulsion engines.
From October 2013 to October 2016 he participates, as Junior Researcher at ISSIA-CNR, in the European project TESEO: High Efficiency Technologies for Energy and Environmental On-board Sustainability, to study innovative systems (electric and/or hybrid) for the electric energy generation for propulsion systems and auxiliary power supply.
From November 2016 to December 2018 he works as Junior Researcher at ISSIA-CNR, to study and realize sensorless control systems for electric drives with induction, rotating and linear, motors, with particular attention to their applications for electric generation systems and electric propulsion.
Since January 2019 he has been working as Junior Researcher at the INstitute of Marine engineering (INM) of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), devoting himself to the study and realization of electric propulsion and traction systems, to the applications of innovative control algorithms to them, and to the on-board energy optimum control.
He is the author of twenty-nine papers accepted in IEEE conferences, nine publications accepted in IEEE and Elsevier journals and he is also the author of a chapter included in the book ``Power Converters and AC Electrical Drives with Linear Neural Networks'', published by Taylor \& Francis Group.
