Prof. Dr. Marcelo Godoy Simões

IEEE Fellow

Biography

Marcelo Godoy Simões is IEEE Fellow, with the citation: “for applications of artificial intelligence in control of power electronics systems.” He was an US Fulbright Fellow for AY 2014-15, working for Aalborg University, Institute of Energy Technology (Denmark). He used to worked at Colorado School of Mines from 2000 to 2020. He is currently with the University of Denver (DU). Dr. Simões is a pioneer to apply neural networks and fuzzy logic in power electronics, motor drives and renewable energy systems. His fuzzy logic based modeling and control for wind turbine optimization is used as a basis for advanced wind turbine control and it has been cited worldwide. His leadership in modeling fuel cells is internationally and highly influential in providing a basis for further developments in fuel cell automation control in many engineering applications. Prof. Simões made substantial and lasting contribution of artificial intelligence technology in many applications, power electronics and motor drives, fuzzy control of wind generation system, such as Fuzzy Logic based waveform estimation for power quality, Neural Network based estimation for vector-controlled motor drives and integration of alternative energy systems to the electric grid through AI modeling based power electronics control. His scientific expertise intersect the areas of power electronics, power systems, power quality, smart-grid and renewable energy systems.
