Research profile

Francesco Iannuzzo received the M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Information Engineering from the University of Naples, Italy, in 1997 and 2001, respectively. He is primarily specialized in power device reliability.

From 2000 to 2006, he was a Researcher at the University of Cassino, Italy, where he became an Aggregate Professor in 2006 and an Associate Professor in 2012.

From 2014 to 2024, he was a Professor of Reliable Power Electronics at Aalborg University, Denmark, where he was also part of the CORPE (Center of Reliable Power Electronics).

In December 2024, Francesco Iannuzzo joined DENERG at Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, and PEIC, the Power Electronics Innovation Center.

His research interests are in the reliability of power devices, including cosmic rays, power device failure modeling, and testing power modules up to MW-scale under extreme conditions, like overvoltage, overcurrent, overtemperature, and short circuit. He is the author or co-author of more than 300 publications in journals and international conferences, three book chapters, and several patents. He published the book "Modern Power Electronic Devices: Physics, applications and Reliability" as editor in 2020. Besides the publication activity, over the past years, he has been invited for several technical seminars about reliability in first conferences such as EPE, ECCE, and APEC.
Prof. Iannuzzo was the general chair of ESREF, the European Symposium on Reliability of Electron Devices, Failure Physics, and Analysis in 2018, the General Chair of the IWIPP conference in 2022, and the general chair of the EPE-ECCE Europe conference in 2023.

He is a senior member of the IEEE (Power Electronic Society, Reliability Society, Electron Device Society, Industrial Electronic Society, and Industry Application Society). He has been a Guest Editor for Elsevier Microelectronics Reliability many times. He permanently serves as an Associate Editor for Microelectronics Reliability and the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics.
Francesco Iannuzzo is the co-founder in 2021 and co-editor-in-chief of the Elsevier Power Electronic Devices and Components journal.

Francesco Iannuzzo was appointed Adjunct Professor at Aalborg University in 2025.
