Hamed Latafat was born in Iran, Tabriz, where he got a Master Degree in Electrical engineering and then continued with his PhD studies in Italy, where he found a welcoming and friendly environment. Regarding the academic career, his main research interests include: development of power electronic converters, application of power electronics to renewable energy systems and smart grids, implementation of control techniques using microcontrollers, etc. (Based on IEEE xplore document published on 14 November 2014).

As he told us, Hamed moved to Modena because he found a suitable job but also due to its strategic position. One of his biggest problems was finding a house to rent, but fortunately, with the help of some colleagues he managed to find one. Despite this, Hamled is delighted to have chosen this region and recommends it to his friends as well.

Moreover, he is also part of our it-ER Ambassadors, the network of international university students, PhDs, researchers and knowledge workers representing the Emilia-Romagna Innovation Ecosystem throughout the world!
