Ivica Jurić-Grgić was born in 1977 in Split, Croatia. He received a dipl. ing. title, equivalent to the M.E.E., at the University of Split, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in 2000. In 2008, he defended his doctoral dissertation titled “Modeling Electromagnetic Phenomena in Power Systems Using the Finite Element Method” under the supervision of prof. dr. sc. Mate Kurtović. Currently, he is a researcher and full professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Naval Architecture in Split, where he serves as the Head of the Department of Theoretical Electrical Engineering and Engineering Modeling, as well as a member of the Committee for Electrical Engineering and Computing Study Programs.
His research so far has focused on analyzing and numerically modeling electromagnetic transients in power systems, specifically the development of advanced numerical models for calculating electromagnetic transients in multi-conductor transmission lines and algorithms for numerical analysis of transient stability in power systems based on the finite element method.
Today, he works on improving numerical algorithms for the analysis of angular, voltage, and frequency stability in advanced power systems with a high share of renewable energy sources (RES). Additionally, he focuses on enhancing existing numerical models of power system components for harmonic and transient analysis of grounding systems and, more generally, the analysis of transient phenomena in advanced power systems.
