Biography
He was awarded his degree in electronic engineering in 1988, his doctorate in non-destructive Testing in 1993 and post-doctorate in 1994. In 1995 he became Associate Researcher and in 2004 Associate Professor of Electronics in the Department of Information Engineering. In 2017 he received the National Scientific Qualification as Full Professor in Electronics. His current research activities are in the design of ultrasonic guided waves devices, buried objects detection with GPR and holographic radar. He has coordinated several research projects with national (Gilardoni spa) and international industries (National Semiconductors, Texas Instruments), Thales Alenia Space Italia and research institutions : the Italian Research Council (CNR), the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and the European Space Agency (ESA), AEA Technology and UKAEA, EU Joint Research Centre (Ispra) and NATO (Brussels, Belgium). He is Fellow of British Institute of NDT.
