Alessandro Formisano

I began teaching in 1996/9, and have regularly taught in the Engineering Faculty either in Undergraduate and Ph.D. courses, in Electrical Circuits and Electromagnetism. I have been visiting scientist or visiting professor in many foreigner universities, such as Graz (AU) in 2000 AND IN 2004; Jaen (ES) in 2015, Ilmenau (DE) in 2016, Niigata (JP) in 2023 and Lille (FR) in 2024.

My main research interests are:

• Numerical models for the analysis of electromagnetic coupled problems, Plasma identification problems, numerical analysis of 3D magnetic fields in Tokamaks.

• Development of methods and algorithms for the optimal design and inverse problems resolution in quasi-stationary electromagnetism, based on both deterministic and stochastic approaches effect of uncertainties in production processes on electromagnetic devices performance

• Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks, applied to the resolution of direct and inverse problems in electromagnetism

As a remarkable note concerning my research activity, since 2018 I have been an External Expert for Fusion For Energy (European agency for the development of Nuclear Fusion) for electromagnetic calculation. In this context, since 2019 I have been dealing with the evaluation of the impact of the error field on the performance of the ITER Tokamak.

Senior Member of IEEE, I am presently member of the IEEE Magnetic Society Admin. Committee and of the Technical Committee. I am also member of the Steering committees of CEFC (for which he acted as Editorial Board Co-Chair in the 2020 edition), of OIPE Conference series, and of ISEF conference series. I was the General Chair of Compumag 2025, and I am the designated General Chair of ISEF 2029.

My activity led me to establish numerous collaborations with both Italian and foreign universities and research institutions. These collaborations allowed me to publish numerous scientific works in collaboration with researchers from numerous internationa universities and institutions, such as Department de Etude et Research of the Electricité de France, European Fusion Development Agreement, Forzungcentrum Karlshruhe, Insitute for Electrical Engineering Bratislava, E.N.E.A. Superconductivity, Center de Recherce sur la Phiysique du Plasma, Fusion for Energy.
