Francesco Grilli

Francesco Grilli received the M.S. degree in physics from the University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, in 1998, the Ph.D. degree in technical sciences from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2004, and the Habilitation in superconductivity for energy applications from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2017. From 2004 to 2007, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Los Alamos National Laboratory, NM, USA, and from 2007 to 2009, with the Polytechnique Montréal, Montréal, QC, Canada. Since 2009, he has been with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany, where he is currently the leader of the group “AC Losses in High-Temperature Superconductors.” His main research interests include the 2-D and 3-D modeling of high-temperature superconductors and the characterization of their properties. Dr. Grilli was the recipient of the 2008 and 2014 Van Duzer Prize for Best Contributed Nonconference Paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity and of the 2011 Dr. Meyer-Struckmann Science Prize for his work on numerical modeling of superconductors.
