DC08 - Fast extremely wideband multi-sensors systems for closed-loop testing
Background:
I hold a background in electrical and industrial engineering. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Energy Engineering from the University of Padova (Italy) in 2023. Subsequently, in 2025, I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Electrical Energy Engineering from the same institution. My master’s thesis focused on numerical approaches for the prediction of conducted emissions in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Thanks to this research I had the opportunity to explore and deepen my understanding of the complex (and indeed fascinating) world of EMC.
How did you become a part of NEPIT?
During my final year at university, I became aware of the NEPIT project and its open positions. However, initially I did not apply, as I was focused on completing my master’s thesis. In late November, I came across a LinkedIn post regarding a vacancy for a PhD position within NEPIT at the Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg (Germany). The project’s topic and objectives perfectly aligned with my interests, so I applied immediately. Following an online interview after the Christmas break, I was honored to be selected for the role. I officially joined the NEPIT project on February 16th, 2026.
What is NEPIT according to you?
In my view, NEPIT is an invaluable multidisciplinary and international network that aims at training researchers, in order to face the growing challenges of electromagnetic compatibility. It offers a unique opportunity to gain experience both in academia and industry: being part of a consortium that connects five renowned universities with a network of leading industrial partners provides an environment that I find incredibly motivating.
Role in NEPIT?
Within the NEPIT project, I am Doctoral Candidate 08 (DC08) and I am enrolled in the PhD program at the Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg. My research topic, titled “fast extremely wideband multi-sensors systems for closed-loop testing” tackles the necessity of monitoring electromagnetic environments for the test of large equipment (cars, buses, trucks) with many sensors, operating in a wide frequency range, with a large dynamic response and with a very accurate linearity. I hope my work will benefit industries producing large, complex equipment, and their suppliers, who require faster and more accurate electromagnetic compatibility testing.
Plans for immediate and distant future?
In the short term, I will focus on my PhD journey and I will maximize all the experiences and learning opportunities provided by the network, including advanced training and secondments.
Regarding the distant future, I am not yet sure whether my path will lead me toward academia or the industrial sector. In either case, I hope to work with enthusiasm on new projects related to electromagnetic compatibility, helping to make the electronic systems of the future increasingly safe and reliable.
