Óscar Lucía (Full Professor, IEEE Fellow, YAS Fellow) received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees (with honors) in Electrical Engineering from the University of Zaragoza, Spain, in 2006 and 2010, respectively. Since 2008, he has been with the Department of Electronic Engineering and Communications at the University of Zaragoza, Spain, where he is currently a Full Professor and a member of the I3A research institute. He has been a visiting scholar in the Center for Power Electronics Systems (CPES, Virginia Tech) and the TU Berlin (Germany) in 2019.
His main research interests include resonant power conversion, wide-bandgap devices, and digital control, mainly applied to contactless energy transfer, induction heating, electric vehicles, and biomedical applications. In these topics, he has published more than 115 JCR journal papers and 250 conference papers with +9000 citations, and he has filed more than 75 international patent families with more than 150 international extensions. He has been advisor of 6 PhD dissertations (plus 3 on going) and over 70 final year projects.
Dr. Lucia leads a strong technology transfer activity to industry in cooperation with some of the main companies in the domestic, industrial, and automotive fields, with intense industrial property generation and new products brought to the market. He has led projects with some of the most relevant companies worldwide including BSH, LEAR, Panasonic, Angiodynamics or Daimler, among others. He has been principal investigator of research projects and contracts with a budget above 7 M€.
Dr. Lucía is a Fellow of the IEEE and an active member of the Power Electronics (PELS) and Industrial Electronics (IES) societies. He is os has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, the IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine (Society News editor), the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, and the IEEE Open Journal of the Industrial Electronics Society. He has been the Chair of the IEEE Industrial Electronics technical committee TC5, cluster delegate and AdCom member. He has been the General co-chair of the IEEE ECCE Europe 2025 international conference.
Dr. Lucia is the recipient of the "2024 IEEE Rudolf Chope R&D Award" for his contributions to induction heating, the "2021 Agustín de Betancourt y Molina Award", awarded to the best young researcher by the Real Academia de Ingeniería, and the "Ramón y Cajal Research Award" for this contributions to technology transfer in electric vehicle technologies. He has also received the IEEE IEM journal Best Paper Award, the IEEE CPE/Powereng Best Paper Award, the Bosch-Siemens Award to Industrial Innovation, and the SAMCA Chair Award to Multidisciplinary Research. He has been awarded the prestigious Leonardo Grant by BBVA foundation. In 2025, he has been elevated to IEEE Fellow member, the highest possible rank (only 0.1% elevated annually). He has been elected as a Fellow of the Young Academy of Spain after a highly competitive process, and he is currently the President, contributing to the development of young generations of spanish researchers. He is regularly recognized to be among 2% top scholars by the Stanford ranking.
