About
Prof. Marco Rivera was born in Talca, Chile, in 1982. He received the B.Sc. degree in electronics engineering and the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile, in 2007 and 2008, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electronics Engineering, Universidad
Técnica Federico Santa María, Valparaíso, Chile, in 2011.
He was awarded the “Premio Tesis de Doctorado Academia Chilena de Ciencias 2012”, for the best PhD Thesis developed in 2011 for national and foreign students in any exact or natural sciences program, that is a member of the Academia Chilena de Ciencias, Chile.
Through the last years, he has been a visiting professor at several international universities. He has directed and participated in several projects financed by the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Científico y Tecnológico, FONDECYT), the Chilean National Agency for Research and Development (Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo, ANID), and the Paraguayan Program for the Development of Science and Technology (Proyecto Paraguayo para el Desarrollo de la Ciencia y Tecnología, PROCIENCIA), among others. He has been the responsible researcher of basal financed projects whose objective is to enhance, through substantial and long-term financing, Chile’s economic development through excellence and applied research.
He is the Director of the Laboratory of Energy Conversion and Power Electronics (Laboratorio de Conversión de Energías y Electrónica de Potencia, LCEEP) at Universidad de Talca, Chile. He was a full professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the Universidad de Talca.
Since April 2023 he joined the Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) research group of the University of Nottingham as a Professor. His main research areas are power electronics, renewable energies, advanced control of power converters, microgrids, among others. He has published more than 500 academic publications in leading international conferences and journals.
