Luigi Calcara (1990) received (2015) the Master Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Roma “La Sapienza”. Part of his thesis was supported by Enel Distribuzione with a training stage developing the work titled “Advanced systems for temperature monitoring to reduce the rate of failures of electric distribution lines in underground medium voltage cables”. This contribution was honored (2016) by the CEI Award as one of the Best Italian Master Degree Thesis.
In 2020 he received his PhD degree, with the valuation with honors, at the University of Roma “La Sapienza” developing a work thesis on the subject of “Electrical Resilience: Technological Aspects”.
From 2020 he is Contract Professor of “Electric Components” for Electrical Engineering Master Degree at the University of Roma “La Sapienza”. From 2021 he is Assistant Professor at the same University.
He was the Technical Program Chair of the IEEE International Conference on Dielectric Liquids 2019 (IEEE DEI Society).
From 2018 he is member of the local organizing committee of the annual IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical ENegineering.
In 2017 he was Co-Guest Editor of the ELSEVIER Electric Power System Research Journal for the Special Issue on Advances in HV Systems.
He also served and is still serving the IEEE DEI Society as Co-Guest Editor of two subsequent Special Issues (2018 and 2020) on Liquid Dielectrics of the Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulations.
From 2016 he is member of CEI CT10 and IEC TC 10 “Fluids for electrotechnical applications”.
Up to 2020 he was chair of the IEEE Sapienza Student Branch.
Currently, he is Secretary of the Roma Youth Section of the Electrical Italian Association (AEIT).
