Enric Vidal received the Computer Science degree from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 1993 and received the PhD from the same university in 2001, specifically in the PhD program of Advanced Automation and Robotics, of the Institute of Industrial and Control Engineering (IOC). During the development of the doctoral thesis, he studied the application of fuzzy control techniques and the Hinfinity control to the regulation of DC-DC switching converters. In 1995, he joined the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Automatic Engineering of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili (URV), as associate professor at the School of Engineering.  In 2003, he obtained the position of Titular de Universidad in the area of Systems Engineering and Automation.

Since joining Rovira i Virgili University, he is part of the Research Group in Automation and Electronics Industrial (GAEI). Currently, his main research area is focused on the design and control of electronic power systems applied to the electric and hybrid vehicle.

Since 1995, he has continuously participated in public funded research projects, most of them of the Spanish National Research Plan, being the principal investigator of two of them (2010-13 and 2013-16) and the principal co-investigator of the last one (2016-19).

He has also participated in 13 industrial projects, being directly responsible for three of them, highlighting those made with the leading global tier 1 automotive supplier, Lear Co.

As a teacher, he has been responsible for the subjects of “Industrial Informatics, “Automatic Control”, “Robotics”, “Modelling and Control of Switched Converters”, “Nonlinear and digital control of Switched Converters” and “Fuzzy Control”. He is also a co-author of a book on Industrial Robotics. He has also participated in the commission that developed the academic program of the Master on Electric Vehicle Technologies.
