Agostino Monorchio (S’89–M’96–SM’04–F’12) is Full Professor at the University of Pisa. He spent several research periods at the Electromagnetic Communication Laboratory at Pennsylvania State University (USA), both as a recipient of a scholarship (Fellowship Award) of the Summa Foundation, New Mexico (USA), and in the framework of CNR-NATO Senior Fellowship programme. He has carried out a considerable research activity and technical consultancy to national, EU and U.S. industries, coordinating, as principal scientific investigator, a large number of national and European research projects. Prof. Monorchio is active in a number of areas including computational electromagnetics, microwave metamaterials, radio propagation for wireless systems, the design and miniaturization of antennas and electromagnetic compatibility, biomedical microwaves applications. The activity is mainly carried out at the Microwave and Radiation Laboratory (www.mrlab.it) of the Department of Information Engineering, University of Pisa, together with a large group of PhD students, Post-Docs and research associates. He is a member of RaSS National Laboratory of CNIT (Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni) and since 2010 he is affiliated with the Pisa Section of INFN, the National Institute of Nuclear Physics. His research results have been published in more than 130 journal papers and book chapters, and more than 200 communications at international and national conferences, he is co-author of 4 patents. In 2012 he has been elevated to Fellow grade by the IEEE for his contributions to computational electromagnetics and for application of frequency selective surfaces in metamaterials.
