Applied electromagnetics for microwave sensing, imaging, and bio-integrated systems. This research line focuses on the development of electromagnetic methods, devices, and measurement strategies for sensing, imaging, and monitoring complex lossy media, including biological tissues, biomimicking materials, agro-industrial samples, plants, and biohybrid systems.
The activity combines antenna and microwave device design, near-field measurements, dielectric characterization, S-parameter calibration, numerical modeling, and inverse-scattering methods. Particular attention is given to the design of robust and experimentally validated microwave systems capable of operating in realistic scenarios, where the target under investigation is heterogeneous, dispersive, lossy, and often only partially known.
In the biomedical field, this research includes microwave sensing and imaging approaches for medical applications, with emphasis on brain monitoring and stroke follow-up. The objective is to exploit the dielectric contrast between healthy and pathological tissues to develop non-ionizing, portable, and potentially low-cost technologies that can complement existing diagnostic and monitoring tools.
In the agro-industrial and environmental fields, the research explores microwave-based sensing strategies for monitoring materials, biological samples, and complex organic media. These activities are oriented toward non-invasive characterization, quality control, process monitoring, and sustainable sensing solutions.
A growing part of this research line focuses on bio-integrated electromagnetic systems and living antennas. This direction investigates how living organisms and biological structures, such as plants, can be integrated with electromagnetic and bioelectronic interfaces to act as sensing, communicating, or responsive elements. The long-term vision is to develop natural technology integration strategies in which living systems are not only monitored by external devices but become active components of distributed sensing and communication platforms.
Overall, the research aims to connect applied electromagnetics, microwave engineering, biomedical sensing, agro-industrial monitoring, and bio-integrated technologies into a unified framework for sensing and interacting with complex living and non-living systems.
