was initiated by Prof. Rachidi, Prof. M. Rubinstein and Prof. M. Paolone and resulted in the instrumentation of the tower for lightning current measurements. Since its instrumentation in 2010, several hundreds of lightning flashes have been successfully recorded on the tower and the station has served as a primary experimental site used by researchers and engineers involved in lightning research and protection. The obtained data constitute the largest dataset on lightning current and current derivatives associated with upward flashes available to this date. Other activities of Prof. Rachidi include the development of the so-called ‘full-wave’ transmission line models (in cooperation with Dr. Sergei
Tkachenko) and the use of the Electromagnetic Time Reversal (EMTR) technique to locating lightning discharges and faults in power networks (in cooperation of Prof. Marcos Rubinstein and Prof. Mario Paolone).

scientisits for distinguished achievements in the science and engineering of lightning research, developing new fields in theory and practice, modelling and measurements. The conference was established in 1951 by a group of eminent scientists and is now considered to be the most prestigious scientific conference in the field of physics of lightning discharges and lightning protection.
323:, he has developed models for the evaluation of lightning electromagnetic radiation, which have been widely used in lightning-related engineering applications. One of the most important contributions made by Professor Rachidi is the development of a model describing the interaction of an exciting electromagnetic field and a transmission line.
