Luigi Boccia was hearth born in Lungro (CS), Italy, in 1975. He received the MSc degree in Information Technology Engineering (cum laude) from the University of Calabria, Italy, and the Ph.D in Electronic Engineering from the University “Mediterranea” of Reggio Calabria, Italy, in 2000 and 2003, respectively. Since January 2005 he has been Assistant Professor in Electromagnetics at the Department of Computer Engineering, Modeling, Electronics, and Systems Science of the University of Calabria, where he has been teaching courses of antennas and microwave engineering. International experience: From July to December 1999 he was with the Electromagnetic Department of the European Space and Technological Research Centre - ESTEC (The Netherlands) of the European Space Agency –ESA working on low multipath GPS antennas for spacecraft attitude determination. From June to December 2006 he held the position of Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham (UK) performing a theoretical and experimental research activity on quasi-optical systems. He has been a Visiting Professor at the University of Surrey, Surrey Space Centre (UK), at the University of Kent (UK) and he organizes the International Doctoral Course on “Reconfigurable Antennas and Arrays” at the Ulm University (DE) within the framework of the European School of Antennas. Dr. Boccia is Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), of the European Microwave Association (EuMA) and of the Societa' Italiana di Elettromagnetismo (SIEm). Research projects relevant for the proposed activity: Dr. Boccia has participated in several National, EU and ESA projects. The research projects relevant for the proposed activity are reported here in the following: 1. DIFFERENT (EU-FP7-Space) project aiming at the development of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with Digital Beam Forming architecture. The project aims to develop a low-cost, low-polar, dual-polarized SAR instrument that can achieve a high level of integration of radiating elements, analog MMICs and digital boards. In this project, UNICAL is responsible for the development of some MMIC components and the integrated board. Role in the project: responsible of the local research unit and project manager officer with a role of technical coordination. 2. Participation in the FLEXWIN project (EU-FP7-ICT). FLEXWIN aims to develop SiGe BiCMOS chip for K / Ka reconfigurable antennae for SatCom applications. In this project, UNICAL was responsible for designing the K/Ka antenna, several MMIC blocks. Role in the project: WP leader. 3. ESA-funded SKATE project (ESA-ESTEC No. 4000109891/14 / NL / AD). SKATE aims at realizing MMIC for K/Ka band SATCOM phased arrays applications in SiGe BiCMOS technology. UNICAL is responsible for designing the RX chain. Role in the project: WP leader. 4. QV-LIFT project (EU-H2020-Space). QV-LIFT aims to develop the first complete satellite link in Q-V band. UNICAL's CNIT unit is responsible for the antenna design. 5. TARANTO project (EU-H2020-ECSEL). TARANTO aims at the development of electronic components for telecommunications and radar systems in the band E. Role in the project: national coordinator. 6. MOONRISE project. The joint research program, funded by AMPLEON, aims at the development of integrated antennas and front-ends for 5G applications. Role in the project: project coordinator. Publications: Author of more than 80 publications on International Journals or in the proceedings of international conferences. He is a co-editor of the Space Antenna Handbook (Wiley, 2012).
