Maria Stefania Carmeli received the MS Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1997 at Politecnico di Milano. She attended the courses of the PhD in Electrical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano during the period 1997-2000; on 2001 she discussed, with success, her final dissertation. On 01/02/2002 she won a national competition and has begun her services as assistant professor at Politecnico di Milan, Department of Electrical Engineering, where she is endorsed as teacher of the course of “Electrical Machine dynamic models". Her main research fields are: modelling and simulation of electromechanical systems, with regard to dynamic models of electrical machines and real-time simulation; power electronics, with regard to the study of different converter topologies and, first of all, to their control; static converters for distributed generation, with particular care to efficiency increment of the whole process and to power quality. She has been engaged in some national research project MURST on the study of grid interface of distributed generation and energy storage systems. She has also studied automotive and railway systems. She is a co-inventor of an equipment for which a national patent request has been deposited on 11/04/2007 with the title: "Sistema di conversione e controllo per impianti di generazione distribuita" (A system of conversion and control for distributed generation plants). She is AEIT (Associazione Elettrotecnica Italiana) and IEEE member, in particular she joined IEEE Power Electronics and Industrial Electronics Societies. She is a reviewer of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Transactions, IEEE Power Electronics Transactions, Electric Power Systems Research and of IEEE International conferences (IECON, ISIE, PESC, EPE).
