Über Autor(innen)

Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio is Editor in Chief of Power Electronics News and EEWeb, and an EE Times correspondent. He holds a Ph.D in physics and is a telecommunications engineer. He has worked on projects concerning gravitational waves research, designing a thermal compensation system (TCS) and data acquisition and control systems, and on others about x-ray microbeams in collaboration with Columbia University and motor control for space with INFN. TCS was applied to the Virgo and LIGO experiments, which detected gravitational waves for the first time and earned the Nobel Prize in 2017.
