    Pedro Rodriguez

    Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology

    Pedro Rodriguez (IEEE Fellow) received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), Spain. He carried out postdoctoral research at internationally recognized institutions, including the Center for Power Electronics Systems at Virginia Tech (USA), the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Aalborg University (Denmark), and the MIT Energy Initiative (USA), building expertise at the intersection of power electronics, power systems, and energy transition.

    Professor Rodriguez has extensive industrial experience. He served as Director of Technology for Modern Power Systems at Abengoa Research (Spain) and was co-supervisor of the Vestas Power Program in Denmark. He later held research leadership roles, including Director of Loyola.Tech at Loyola University (Spain). He is currently Head of the Intelligent Clean Energy Systems (ICES) research unit at the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), Luxembourg. He also holds academic appointments as part-time Professor at UPC, Affiliate Professor at the University of Luxembourg, and Visiting Professor at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden.

    He is co-author of a Wiley–IEEE book on power electronics for renewable integration and has published numerous highly cited journal articles. He has been repeatedly listed as a Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher in Engineering. His pioneering contributions include synchronization methods, grid-forming converter technologies, and synchronous power controllers, with strong impact on research and industry. He holds 18 patents, many licensed to industrial applications.

    Professor Rodriguez is an IEEE Fellow and Distinguished Lecturer. His recognitions include the 2020 IEEE PELS Sustainable Energy Systems Technical Achievement Award and an Honorary Doctorate from Aalborg University, Denmark. He chairs the ETIP-SNET Working Group on Storage Technologies and System Flexibilities and the IEEE PELS Technical Committee on Sustainable Energy Systems. His research interests focus on intelligent energy systems, inverter-based resources, energy storage, and universal energy access.
