Prof. Dr. Thiago Batista Soeiro is an electrical engineering with the main expertise in Power Electronics. He earned his master’s degree from the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil in 2007 and completed his Ph.D. at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2012. During his studies, he’s had opportunities to collaborate internationally, including time as a Visiting Scholar at Concordia University in Canada and the Center for Power Electronics Systems in the USA. 

After completing his Ph.D., he worked as a researcher at the Power Electronics Institute in Brazil before moving to Switzerland, where he spent five years as a Scientist and later as a Senior Scientist at ABB's Corporate Research Center. In 2018, he joined Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands as an Assistant Professor and, after completing the tenure track, became an Associate Professor, focusing on DC systems, energy conversion, and storage. In 2022, he spent part of the year at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk before joining the University of Twente as a Full Professor in power electronics.
