Luca is a Visiting Scholar at Columbia University’s MPlab in New York City. He holds a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, awarded with highest honors, from the University of Naples Federico II in 2023, where he is currently pursuing his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering. During his academic path, Luca focused on power electronics, renewable energy systems, and motor drives, developing a strong background in the design and control of energy conversion systems.
During his master’s studies, Luca carried out research in the field of power electronics on the Comparison Between Instantaneous Values Model, Averaged Model, and Tangent Model of the Ćuk Converter, and in the field of motor drives on advanced control of electric machines.
At Columbia’s MPlab, Luca’s primary research centers on innovative control strategies for dual-fed inverter topologies applied to open-winding permanent magnet synchronous machines, with the aim of improving performance, efficiency, and resilience in next-generation electric drive systems.
