Rino Lucić was born on June 20, 1957, in Sinj, where he completed his primary and secondary education. In 1981, he graduated in Electrical Engineering from the Department of Power Engineering at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Naval Architecture (FESB) at the University of Split. After completing his studies, he worked as a teacher of electrical engineering subjects at a high school in Sinj until early 1985. During this period, he also completed his mandatory military service. In 1983, he worked part-time as an assistant at FESB, University of Split.

In early 1985, he was employed at “Elektrodalmacija” in Split (now HEP HODS) working on the construction and reconstruction of power facilities, where he worked until September 1987. In September 1987, he began working as an assistant at the Department of Power Engineering at FESB. In 1992, he participated in professional development at University College of Swansea, University of Wales, UK, as part of the TEMPUS program. In 1993, he obtained a Master’s degree at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Zagreb. In 1999, he earned his PhD from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Naval Architecture, University of Split. As part of an international scientific research project, he completed a postdoctoral internship at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, France, in 2001 and 2002, lasting six months.

In 2002, he was appointed Assistant Professor, in 2006 Associate Professor, in 2010 Full Professor, and in 2015 Full Professor with permanent tenure, all at the Department of Power Engineering, FESB, University of Split. He actively participated in the realization of several scientific research and professional projects and was a member of several professional associations. In addition to his work at his home faculty, he lectured at the Faculty of Maritime Studies and the University Department of Professional Studies at the University of Split. During 2011 and 2012, he taught at MCAST - The Malta College of Arts, Science & Technology in Malta.

In his assistant and senior assistant roles, he held lectures on subjects such as Theoretical Electrical Engineering, Synchronous Machines (Electrical Machines 1), General Theory of Electrical Machines; as well as auditorium and laboratory exercises in Basic Electroengineering and Numerical Modeling. In his academic and professional teaching roles, in addition to lectures and laboratory exercises in Theoretical Electrical Engineering and Numerical Modeling, he also lectured on Numerical Methods and Simulations, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Electrical Switchgear, Electrical Machines and Transformers, Electrical Safety, Electrical Installations, and Testing of Electrical Installations. In the postgraduate program, he taught lectures on Electromagnetic Compatibility in Power Engineering and Numerical Methods for the Analysis of Electromagnetic Transients.

As an author or co-author, he has published 41 scientific papers and 16 professional papers. He is the co-author of 20 studies and study reviews. Under his mentorship, one doctoral dissertation, 30 Master’s theses, and 52 Bachelor’s theses have been completed. In 1993, he was appointed as a permanent expert witness in the field of electrical engineering at the County Court in Split. He retired on October 1, 2022, and since then, he has been teaching as an external associate at FESB and the Faculty of Maritime Studies, University of Split.
