Gaetano Marrocco was born in Teramo, Italy, on August 29, 1969, He received the Laurea
degree in Electronic Engineering (Laurea 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. Since 1997, he has been a Researcher at the University of Rome "TorVergata," Rome, Italy, where he currently teaches Antenna Design and Medical Radio-Systems, manages the Antenna Lab and is Advisor in the Geo-Information PhD program.
In October 2010 he achieved the degree of Associate Professor of Electromagnetic.
In summer 1994, he was at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champain as a Postgraduate Student. In autumn 1999, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Imperial College in London, U.K. In 2008 he joined the PhD program of the University of Grenoble (FR).
His research is mainly directed to the modelling and design of broad band and ultra wideband (UWB) antennas and arrays as well as of sensor-oriented miniaturized antennas for Biomedicine, Aeronautics and Radiofrequency Identification (RFID).
Prof. Marrocco has been collaborating since 2006 with the Italian Committee for the Computer Science in the Public Administration (CNIPA) about RFID topics.
He 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.
He holds eight patents on broadband naval antennas and structural arrays, and on sensor RFID systems.
Currently, he serves as Associate Editor of the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, he is a usual reviewer of IEEE Transaction on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Proceedings, IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques, and is a member of Technical Program Committee of several International Conferences.
He was the 2004 recipient of the M. Sannino Award at the Italian Electromagnetic Society General Conference for a paper on Ultra-Wideband antenna modelling.
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 and Chairman of the Local Committee of the V European Conference on Antennas and Propagation.
