Josep Maria Guerrero

Josep M. Guerrero (S’01-M’04-SM’08-FM’15) received the B.Sc. degree in telecom engineering, M.Sc. degree in electronics engineering, and PhD degree from the Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain. From 2011 to 2025, he has been a Full Professor with AAU Energy, Aalborg University, Denmark, where he is responsible for the Microgrid Research Program. In 2019, he became a Villum Investigator by the Villum Fonden, which supports the Center for Research on Microgrids (CROM) at Aalborg University, being Prof. Guerrero the founder and Director of the same center (www.crom.energy.aau.dk). In 2020, he initiated neuroscience studies and research. As a result, in 2022 he received the M.Sc. degree in Psychobiology and Cognitive Neuroscience from the Institute of Neuroscience (INc) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, and in 2023 he received the M.Sc. degree in Sleep: Physiology and Medicine at the University of Murcia, Spain. From 2023 to 2024 he was with the Technical University of Catalonia as an ICREA Research Professor. In 2023 he joined Huanjiang Laboratory, Zhejiang University, as a director of the CROM, Zhuji, Shaoxing, China. In 2025 he became a Distinguished Senior Researcher at the department of electrical engineering, University of Valladolid, Spain. His research interests are oriented to different microgrid frameworks like energy microgrids, hydrogen and biomass, water micronets, biological systems, seaport microgrids and electrical ships, airport microgrids and more electrical aircraft, space microgrids and smart medical systems. In these fields, he has researched distributed and cyber-physical energy systems, cybersecurity for microgrids and smart grids, neuroscience-inspired artificial intelligence for energy systems, machine learning and applications using signal processing, bioinformatics, bio-inspired computing, and quantum computing and quantum communication for complex energy networks. Prof. Guerrero is an Associate Editor for several IEEE TRANSACTIONS. He has published more than 1,000 journal papers in the fields of microgrids and renewable energy systems, which are cited more than 120,000 times. During nine consecutive years, from 2014 to 2023, he was awarded by Clarivate Analytics as Highly Cited Researcher. From 2020 to 2025 he was listed in the world’s top 2% scientist by Standford/Elsevier. In 2021, he received the IEEE Bimal Bose Award for Industrial Electronics Applications in Energy Systems, for his pioneering contributions to renewable energy based microgrids. In 2022, he received the IEEE PES Douglas M. Staszesky Distribution Automation Award, for contributions to making the hierarchical control of microgrid systems a practical reality. In 2023, he was the IEEE Modeling and Control Technical Achievement Award recipient for contributions to modelling and control of power electronics based microgrids. In 2024 he received the CSEE Journal of Power and Energy Systems Excellent Paper Award.
