Nicola Femia
IPERA President
Nicola Femia received the Laurea Degree with honors in Electronic Engineering from the University of Salerno, in 1988. He is currently Professor at the University of Salerno, where he teaches Power Electronics, Energetic Intelligence, Green Energy Digital Control in the Electronic Engineering and Computer Engineering Master Programs. His research activities encompass circuit theory and applications, design and optimization of switching power supplies, magnetic power components modeling and optimization, power electronics and control techniques, wireless power transfer systems. He has co-authored about 180 scientific papers, six patents and one book on power electronics topics.
In the last two decades he has directed and developed tens of research and education projects on power electronics topics in collaboration with world-wide electronics companies, like National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, National Instruments, STMicroelectronics, Power-One/ABB, Whirlpool, Coilcraft, and Wurth.
He held more than 50 invited lectures, courses and seminars on Power Electronics Design and Education for universities and industries over Europe, United States, China and India. In 2014 he has been Visiting Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department of the Stanford University, Stanford, CA. He is the author and co-creator of the Texas Instruments Power Management Laboratory Kit (TI-PMLK), of the Texas Instruments Power Electronics board for National Instruments ELVIS III, TI-PMLK BUCK-Wurth Elektronik Edidion, the most enhanced tools for university and industry power electronics education and training.

Giulia Di Capua
IPERA CEO
Giulia Di Capua received the B.Sc. and the M.Sc. degrees in Electronic Engineering from the University of Salerno, in 2006 and 2009, respectively. In 2013, she received the PhD degree in Information Engineering from the University of Salerno, with a dissertation on “Models and Methods for the Design of Isolated Power Converters in High-Frequency High-Efficiency Applications”. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Salerno, where she is co-instructor in Power Electronics in the Electronic Engineering Master Program. Her main research interests include switch-mode power supplies optimization, magnetic components design and wireless power transfer.
Since 2010, she has developed models and methods for the analysis and design of switch-mode power supplies, including the analysis of losses in power magnetics and semiconductor devices and the characterization and design of power inductors with partially saturated inductors.
She has been visiting researcher at School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom, at International Campus of Excellence Andalucía TECH, Spain, at Texas Instruments Silicon Valley Kilby Laboratories, Sunnyvale, CA, USA, and at Coilcraft Incorporated Power Magnetics Laboratory, Cary, IL, USA. She has collaborated with power magnetics leader industries in the development of projects for power inductors modeling and technical training. She has held several technical seminars in industries and universities on power magnetics.
