STEFANO VELLUCCI (S’16–M’20) received the B.S. and M.S. (summa cum laude) degrees in Electronic Engineering, and the Ph.D. degree in Applied Electronics from ROMA TRE University, Rome, Italy, in 2012, 2015, and 2019, respectively. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Department of Industrial, Electronic, and Mechanical Engineering, at ROMA TRE University.

In 2014 he was an intern with MBDA, Missile Systems, Rome, Italy, and in 2015 he was an Antenna Engineer with ELT Elettronica S.p.A. Rome, Italy, where he designed, modeled, and optimized antennas for military applications. From 2019 to 2020 he was a Postdoctoral Researcher with the ELEDIA Research Center at the University of Trento, Trento, Italy, involved in the study and development of metasurfaces for space and terrestrial applications. His current research interests include the design and applications of artificially engineered materials and metamaterials to RF and microwave components, non-linear and reconfigurable circuit-loaded metasurfaces for radiating structures, analysis and design of metasurface-based cloaking devices for the antennas.

Dr. Vellucci is currently serving as Associate Editor for the EPJ Applied Metamaterials journal, has been guest-editor of two journal special issues focused on microwave, photonic, and mechanical metamaterials, and is member of the Virtual Institute for Artificial Electromagnetic Materials and Metamaterials (METAMORPHOSE VI), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Italian Society on Electromagnetics (SIEM). In 2019 he was a local organizing committee member of the International Congress on Artificial Materials for Novel Wave Phenomena – Metamaterials, and since 2016 he has been serving as a Technical Reviewer of many high-level international journals and conferences related to electromagnetic field theory, metamaterial, and metasurfaces. He was the recipient of some national and international awards, including the URSI Young Scientist Award (2022), the IEEE AP-S Award of the Central-Southern Italy Chapter (2019), the Leonardo-Finmeccanica Innovation Award for "Young Students" (2015), the Outstanding Reviewers Award assigned by the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (2018-2019-2020-2021), and was finalist in the Telespazio Technology Contest (2021).
