Federico Moro is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the University of Padova. He received a Laurea degree in Electrical Engineering (2003), a Ph.D. in Bioelectromagnetism and Electromagnetic Compatibility (2007), and a BSc in Mathematics (2012) at the University of Padova. He is qualified as an Industrial Engineer since 2003. He obtained the National Scientific Qualification as Full Professor (09/E1-Electrotechnics) in 2021. He was appointed Senior Member by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2022. He was a Visiting Researcher at the Physics Department at Swansea University, Wales (UK), in 2005, and a Visiting Professor at the G2ELab, Grenoble, in 2020. He was a Research Fellow at the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Padova, from 2007 to 2010, and an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the same university from 2010 to 2020. Since 2005 he has been teaching in courses of Electrical Engineering in several degree programs of Engineering. Since 2021 he has been the representative of the Department of Industrial Engineering in the Orientation and Tutoring Commission of the School of Engineering and, since 2022, he has been the representative of the same in the University commission.

His research interests include multi-physics modeling, computational electromagnetism, electromagnetic compatibility, and energy storage. He is author or co-author of over 100 papers in international journals and conference proceedings on these topics.
