Prof. Dr. Claudio Curcio received a “Laurea” degree (summa
cum laude) in electronic engineering and a Ph.D. degree in electronic and
telecommunication engineering from the Università di Napoli Federico II,
Naples, Italy, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. In 2006-2007, he held a
post-doctoral position at the University of Naples Federico II. He is currently
a Researcher at Università di Napoli Federico II. His main fields of interest
are antenna measurements, standard and phaseless effective near-field/far-field
transformation techniques, optical beamforming techniques for array antennas,
and reflectarray synthesis. In February 2002 he was the recipient of the
Optimus Award at the SIMAGINE 2002 “Worldwide GSM and Java Card Developer
Contest”. In 2009 and 2010, he received the Best Technical Paper Award at the
Antenna Measurement Techniques Association Symposium. In 2011, he was a
recipient of the Honorable Mention for the Best Antenna Measurement Paper at
the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation, while in 2013, he was a
finalist for the Antenna Measurements Best Paper Award at the European
Conference on Antennas and Propagation. In 2016, he received the IEEE Best
Italian EMC Poster Prize from the IEEE EMC Society, Italy Chapter.
Prof. Francesco D'Agostino received his Laurea degree in electronic engineering from the University of Salerno. At the same university, he also received the Ph.D. degree in information engineering, where he was appointed Associate Professor of electromagnetics and is currently working. His research activity includes application of sampling techniques to electromagnetics and to innovative NF-FF transformations, diffraction problems, radar cross-section evaluations, and electromagnetic compatibility. In this area, Dr. D'Agostino has coauthored 5 books and over 290 scientific papers, which have been published in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. He serves as a regular reviewer for several journals and conferences and has been an invited speaker and chair for international events and conferences. Dr. D’Agostino is a senior member and fellow of the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA), a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a member of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) and of the Italian Electromagnetic Society (SIEM).
