Gilney Damm received a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering and an M.Sc. degree in automatic control from COPPE–Rio de Janeiro Federal University, Brazil, in 1995 and 1997, respectively, as well as a Ph.D in 2001 in the control of power systems and the integration of renewable energy sources. He also received a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches degree from Paris-Saclay University, Paris, France, in 2010. He was an Associate Professor with Paris-Saclay University from 2002 to 2020, and since 2020 he has been a Senior Research Scientist (Directeur de Recherche) at University Gustave Eiffel. His main research activities are connected to the Institutes for Energy Transition SuperGrid (on large-scale high-voltage electrical grids), Efficacity (on MicroGrids and power grids in SmartCities), and Vedecom (electric vehicles). His current research interests include nonlinear and adaptive control and observers applied to power systems: SmartGrids, SuperGrid, and MicroGrids. His main applications are in the field of large-scale renewable energy integration, multi-terminal HVDC systems, mixed AC/DC MicroGrids, control of power generators (transient stabilization, frequency, and voltage stability), synchronization of power networks, and energy integration in smart cities. Prof. Damm has been a member of the IFAC Technical Committee TC 6.3 Power and Energy Systems since 2015. He has been an Associate Editor of the European Journal of Control since 2010 and Energies since 2020.
