Pooya Davari (S’11–M’13-SM’19) received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electronic engineering in 2004 and 2008, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in power electronics from QUT, Australia, in 2013. From 2005 to 2010, he was involved in several electronics and power electronics projects as a Development Engineer. From 2013 to 2014, he was with QUT, as a Lecturer. He joined Aalborg University, in 2014, as a Postdoc, where he is currently an Associate Professor.

He has been focusing on EMI, power quality and harmonic mitigation analysis and control in power electronic systems. He has published more than 160 technical papers. Dr. Davari served as a Guest Associate Editor of IET journal of Power Electronics, IEEE Access Journal, Journal of Electronics and Journal of Applied Sciences. He is an Associate Editor of Journal of Power Electronics, Associate Editor of IET Electronics, Power Electronic Devices and Systems, Editorial board member of Journal of Applied Sciences and Journal of Magnetics. He is member of the International Scientific Committee (ISC) of EPE (ECCE Europe) and a member of Joint Working Group six and Working Group eight at the IEC standardization TC77A. Dr. Davari is the recipient of Equinor 2022 Prize and 2020 IEEE EMC Society Young Professional Award for his contribution to EMI and Harmonic Mitigation and Modeling in Power Electronic Applications. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of Circuit World Journal. He is founder and chair of IEEE EMC SOCIETY CHAPTER DENMARK.
