Nataly Bañol Arias received the B.Sc. degree in industrial engineering from the Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira (UTP), Pereira, Colombia, in 2012, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the São Paulo State University (UNESP), Ilha Solteira, Brazil, in 2015, and 2019, respectively. From May 2017 to April 2018, she was a visiting Ph.D. student at the Technical University of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark. From March 2019 to July 2021 she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Electrical and Computing Engineering, Department of Systems and Energy at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Campinas, Brazil.

Currently, she is an Assistant Professor with the Power Electronics group at the University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands, conducting research on power electronics-dominated smart grids. Her work focuses on the modeling and optimization of modern distribution grids and microgrids, including energy management and control of inverter-based resources (IBRs) for seamless grid integration and support. Current research directions include co-simulation of power systems and power electronics, interoperability of IBRs, and real-time hardware-in-the-loop applications for smart grids.
