Sandra Costanzo received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in Computer Engineering from the University of Calabria and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Reggio Calabria in 1996 and 2000, respectively. Since 1996 she has been with the Research Group in Applied Electromagnetics at the University of Calabria. Currently, she is an Associate Professor at University of Calabria, Cosenza, Italy. In the framework of the European School of Antennas, she was a teacher in the ACE course "Phased arrays and reflectarrays" held at TNO in 2005. Her research interests are focused on near-field far-field techniques, antenna measurement techniques, numerical methods in electromagnetic scattering, millimeter-wave antennas, reflectarrays, antenna analysis and synthesis, compact and wideband antennas, radar technologies, microwave biomedical applications, microwave imaging. She received the "Telecom" prize for the Best Laurea Thesis in 1996 and the "Best Academia & Research Application in Aerospace and Defense 2013” Award at the National Instruments Aerospace and Defense Forum 2013 for the Application “Software Defined Radar using the NI USRP 2920 platform”. She was Session Chair at various international conferences. Currently, she is 'Associate Editor' for the journals: IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, IEEE Access,IEEE Journal on Electromagnetics, RF, and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology.
