About Leonardo
Leonardo Callegaro is a Senior Lecturer in electrical engineering at the School of Engineering within the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. He earned his B.Eng. and M.Eng. (Hons.) degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Padova, Italy, in 2004 and 2006, respectively. He completed his Ph.D. in electrical engineering at the University of New South Wales in 2018, with a thesis titled "Photovoltaic Module Integrated dc-dc Converters: Modulation and Advanced Control Techniques." Before pursuing his doctoral studies, from 2007 to 2014, Callegaro worked in the industry, focusing on DC power systems for telecommunications and remote area power supplies. Following his Ph.D., he served as a research associate at UNSW until 2020, before joining Macquarie University.
Callegaro's research interests encompass control strategies for power electronics in photovoltaic energy systems, microgrids, grid integration of renewable energy sources, photovoltaic module-level converters, and electrified transportation. His notable publications include "Accurate power sharing for islanded DC microgrids considering mismatched feeder resistances" published in Applied Energy in 2023, "A simple technique linearizing and decoupling dc-link voltage control from source nonlinearity in single-stage photovoltaic inverters" in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics in 2023, "Seamless start-up of a grid-connected photovoltaic system using module-integrated micro-converters" in Energies in 2023, "Floating photovoltaic solar in Australia—a feasibility study" in the Journal of Electronics and Electrical Engineering in 2024, and "On the experimental verification of electrothermal modeling of GaN-HEMT-based DC-DC converters" in IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics in 2025. He actively contributes to academic governance as a member of the Macquarie University Faculty of Science and Engineering teaching and leadership committee, addressing matters such as learning and assessment, pedagogy, scholarship of teaching and learning, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Additionally, he serves on the School of Engineering electrical and electronic degree leadership committee. Callegaro also convenes units such as Power Electronics (ELCT3005) and Electrical and Electronic Systems (ELEC2005) at Macquarie University.
