Liliana De Lillo
Senior Research Fellow University of Nottingham
Liliana de Lillo has been a member of the Power Electronics Machines and Control (PEMC)
research group for 24 years working as a researcher in areas such as Power Electronics for
More Electric Aircraft (MEA) applications and later, Integrated Motor Drives for industrial
applications. In 2021 she was awarded a Royal Academy of Engineering Senior Research
Fellowship working on Advanced Embedded motor drive technologies to reduce global energy
consumption and in 2023 became an Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Nottingham.
Since July 2025 she is the Programme Director of a multimillion EPSRC funded, 5 year, research programme
on Sustainable Multi Sector Electrification using Advanced Integrated Motor Drives (AIMD).
2026 Event Agenda Sessions
Panel: Engineering Sustainable Electrification
- Electrification is at the heart of ambitious net zero targets, but delivering it sustainably demands real engineering breakthroughs — from integrated motor drives that cut energy and material waste, to compact power electronics.
- What does sustainable electrification actually require? Reducing lifecycle impacts, minimising use of precious materials, and rethinking how we design, manufacture, and integrate power converters and electric machines across sectors
- Understanding where the critical innovation challenges lie and what engineers need to solve them
Thursday 21 May 12:30 - 12:50 Electric Motor Forum Stage
