Petar Sarajčev was born in 1976 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 2002. In 2008, he defended his PhD thesis, “Electromagnetic model of the system of conductors in multilayer medium”, under the supervision of prof. dr. sc. Slavko Vujević. Currently, he is a researcher and a full-time professor at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Split.

For the past decade, his research interests have been associated with electromagnetic modeling of complex grounding grids, relay protection, and transient analysis of electrical power systems, with emphasis on lightning surges. His work focuses on the electromagnetic transient analysis of electrical power systems in new circuimstances that include renewable energy sources (RES) integration.

Today, his research portfolio also includes machine learning and has the objective of supporting the integration of renewable energy generation into power systems, with special emphasis on the transient stability analysis.

His hobbies include mountain hiking and sailing.
