He is the Main professor in three Bachelor and Master University of Genoa courses and responsible of the connection between the Savona Campus (1700 students) and the secondary school institutions of Liguria region and of the counseling service for students at the Savona Campus. He is a recipient of the Emerald Literati Awards' Outstanding Paper accolade for the best paper published in the Electrical Engineering Journal COMPEL (2003) for the paper “A full-Maxwell algorithm for the field-tomulticonductor line-coupling problem”. He is a member of the PhD board of “Scienze e tecnologie per l’ingegneria elettrica, l’ingegneria navale i sistemi complessi per la mobilita”. He is senior member of IEEE and member of the IEEE Technical Committee 5 - High Power Electromagnetics and of the editorial board of the Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Power System Division), advisor of the PhD students in Power Systems and Electromagnetic Compatibility and of more than 60 Master and Bachelor final projects.

He is author or co-author of more than 100 papers published in international journals or presented at international conferences. His research interests include lightning modeling and its effects on the electric infrastructures as well as Renewable Energy Sources integration into the transmission and distribution electric grid and microgrids.

He graduated cum laude and got his PhD in electrical engineering in 1999 and in 2004 at the University of Genoa where he is currently associate professor. Renato Procopio was born in Savona (Italy) in 1974. This will lead the students to the possibility of managing the code developed by the University of Genoa EMC group that evaluates voltages and currents produced in a power network by a direct or indirect lightning strike. Training on PSCAD-EMTDC starting from simple examples. Topic: Computer exercises in PSCAD-EMTDC concerning lightning discharges
