**About the Editors**

**Adolfo Dannier** (Associate Professor) Adolfo Dannier, born in Naples in 1976, graduated in 2003 in Electrical Engineering at University Federico II of Naples, where he obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2008, with a dissertation on multilevel converters with fault-tolerant structures. Since 2020, he has been an Associate Professor at University Federico II in "Converters, Electrical Machines and Drives" and teaches "Modelling of Electric Machines and Converters", "Power Electric Converter" and "Dynamics of electromechanical systems" (UNICAMPANIA). Active in the research topics of his scientific sector, he collaborated with national and international research projects, as attested by numerous and significant scientific publications. The research interest is mainly targeted at high-performance dynamic drives with PM motors, conversion equipment and electrical energy storage for electric vehicles and for the integration of renewable energy sources.

**Gianluca Brando** (Associate professor) received his MS (cum laude) and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 2000 and 2004. From 2000 to 2012, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Naples Federico II. Since 2020, he has been an Assistant Professor of Electrical Machines and Drives in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, University of Naples Federico II, where he teaches "Machines and Electrical Drives" and "Converters and Storage Systems for Electrical Drives". He has authored several scientific papers published in international journals and conference proceedings. His research interests include control strategies for power converters and electrical drives, modulation techniques for multilevel converters and the advanced modelling of multiphase electrical machines.

**Marino Coppola** (Postdoctoral Researcher). Marino Coppola earned his Laurea degree cum laude in electronic engineering and his Ph.D. in electronic and telecommunication engineering from the University of Napoli Federico II, Italy, in 2008 and 2012, respectively. From 2012 to 2015, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies at the University of Napoli Federico II. From 2015 to 2018, he was a Senior Researcher with PNP Lab (a spinoff company of the University of Napoli Federico II) dealing with EU project ASPIRE (Advanced Smart-grid Power dIstRibution systEm). Since 2019, he has been a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies at the University of Napoli Federico II. He has been a Visiting Researcher at Department of Energy Technology (Aalborg University, Denmark) and at Laplace Laboratories (Institut National Polytechnique of Toulouse, France). He has co-authored 39 papers in refereed international journals and conference proceedings. His initial research activities covered the area of design of highperformance CMOS standard cells, and design of high-speed analog-to-digital converters. His current research interests include the design and control of power converters for photovoltaics and distributed power generation systems, integration of renewable energy resources in electrical systems, modulation of multilevel inverters, design and control of high efficiency DC-DC converters, SiC-based converters, and the design of digital circuits on FPGA.
