Roberto Benato was born in Venezia, Italy, in 1970. He received his Dr.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Padova in 1995 and his PhD in Power Systems Analysis in 1999. In 2002 he was appointed Assistant Professor in the Power System Group in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Padova. His main fields of research are multiconductor analysis, EHV-HV transmission lines and advanced matricial techniques for static and dynamic power system analysis. He is a member of CIGRÉ WG B1.08 "Cable systems in multipurpose or shared structures", secretary of CIGRÉ JWG B3-B1.09 "Application of Long High Capacity Gas Insulated Lines in Structures" and a member of the IEEE PES Substations Committee. He is also a member of IEEE and the Italian AEIT.
