Mateo Bašić was born in 1982 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 2006. In 2013, he defended his PhD thesis, “Vector Control System of Self-Excited Induction Generator Including Iron Losses”, under the supervision of Prof. Dinko Vukadinović. Currently, he is a researcher and a full-time professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Split, where he serves as the Head of the Power Electronics and Automation Chair.

His recent research interests are related to the fields of power electronics and renewable energy sources, with special focus on energy-efficient control of inverters, battery systems, wind turbines, photovoltaic sources and self-excited induction generators in microgrids - both in island operation and in grid-tie operation. He is particularly interested in the investigation of nonlinear phenomena, such as magnetic saturation, and the assessment and minimization of losses in electrical machines and power electronic converters, on the development of associated dynamic models for a better understanding and control of systems, and on the development of model predictive control algorithms. The goal is to increase the energy efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of electric power systems.

Dedication to developing advanced control methods stems from his belief that it is possible to create systems that are not only more energy-efficient but also more reliable and accessible, and that the future of sustainable energy lies in the ability to connect technological innovation with an understanding of the complex phenomena that shape energy systems. In the context of the green transition, he considers that is it is essential to continue investing in research and collaboration, as only through innovation and an interdisciplinary approach can we ensure energy systems capable of successfully supporting the growing demands for renewable energy sources, both today and for future generations.

His hobbies include listening and playing music, reading, and recreational running.
