Francisco de Leon ,

PhD, IEEE Fellow

I received the B.Sc. degree and the M.Sc. degree (summa cum laude) in electrical engineering from the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN), Mexico, in 1983 and 1986, respectively. In 1992 I have obtained the Ph.D. degree also in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto, Canada. From 1992 to 1997 I was with the Graduate Division of the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering of the IPN, Mexico. From September 1997 to August 1998 I was on sabbatical leave at McGill University in Montreal, and from September 1998 to April 1999 I was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Toronto.

From 1999 to 2007 I held several academic positions in Mexico and worked for the Canadian electric industry in the research and development of standard and special motors and transformers. From 2004 to 2007 I was the Director of R&D at CYME International T&D in St. Bruno (Quebec) developing professional-grade software for the analysis of power and distribution systems and cable ampacity. I have joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Polytechnic University (previously Brooklyn Poly and now the NYU Tandon School of Engineering) as Associate Professor in September 2007. Obtained tenure in 2013 and was promoted to (full) Professor in 2019. I was elevated to IEEE Fellow in 2015.

I have over 100 publications including 114 journal papers, 5 book chapters, 14 discussions in the IEEE Transactions, 53 conference papers, and over 10 patents. My papers have been cited close to 2,000 times in journals contained in the Science Citation Index and almost 5,000 times in Google Scholar. I have graduated 26 PhD, 27 MSc students and supervised 16 postdoctoral fellows and 7 visiting PhD students from other universities. 

My areas of greater interest include the transient and steady-state analyses of power systems, the analysis of power definitions under nonsinusoidal conditions, the dynamic thermal rating of cables and transformers, and the calculation of electromagnetic and thermal fields applied to machine design and modeling. 

Currently, I am the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery.

116 journal papers (97 IEEE Transactions)
14 refereed discussions (IEEE Transactions)
2,200+ citations (Science Citation Index)
