![]() | Gaetano Marrocco received the Laurea degree in Electronic Engineering
(cum Laude and Academic Honour) and the Ph.D. degree in Applied
Electromagnetics from the University of L'Aquila, Italy, in 1994 and 1998,
respectively. In 1994, he was at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champain
as a Postgraduate Student. Since 1997, he has been a Researcher at the
University of Rome "Tor Vergata," Rome, Italy, where he currently
teaches Electromagnetic Technology for Wireless Systems, Antenna Design and
Medical Radio-Systems, manages the Pervasive Electromagnetics Labs and is
Advisor in the Geo-Information PhD program. In 1999, he was Visiting Researcher
at the Imperial College in London, U.K. In 2008 he joined the PhD program of
the University of Grenoble (FR). In 2010 he achieved the degree of Associate
Professor of Electromagnetic. His
research is mainly directed to the modelling and design of broadband and ultra
wideband (UWB) antennas and arrays as well as of sensor-oriented miniaturized
antennas for BioEngineering, Aeronautics and Radiofrequency Identification
(RFID). Prof. Marrocco has been involved in several Space, Avionic, Naval and
Vehicular programs of the European Space Agency, NATO, Italian Space Agency,
and the Italian Navy about the analysis and the design of non-conventional
antennas and systems over platforms. He submitted nine patents on broadband naval antennas and structural arrays, and on
sensor RFID systems. He was the Principal
Investigator of the Research program PRIN-2008 “Multi-Tag” involving University
of Siena, University of Bologna and Polytechnic of Turin. Currently,
he serves as Associate Editor of the
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, Vice-Chair of the Italian delegation URSI Commission D: Electronics
and Photonics. In 2008 he was the General
Chairman of the first Italian multidisciplinary scientific workshop on
RFID: RFIDays-2008: Emerging Technology for Radiofrequency Identification. He was the co-chair of the
RFIDays-2010 International Workshop in Finland, Chairman of the Local Committee of the V European Conference on
Antennas and Propagation (EUCAP-2011), TPC
chair of the 2012 IEEE-RFID TA in Nice, France and TPC co-Chair of the 2013 IEEE-RFID USA. Prof. Marrocco is the co-founder of the University spin-off RADIO6ENSE active in the short-range electromagnetic sensing for Aerospace, Healthcare, Internet of Things and Smart Cities. |
