Erika Pittella received the M.S. (cum laude) and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, in 2006 and 2011, respectively. She is currently Assistant Professor at Pegaso University and she serves as lecturer at Sapienza University of Rome. Her research interests are related to the measurement of complex permittivity of materials, time domain reflectometry applications and biomedical instrumentation design. Her research activities also include dosimetric aspects of the interaction between electromagnetic fields radiated by ultrawideband radar systems for remote sensing of vital sign and exposed subjects, and the design and implementation of sensor networks for patient physiological parameters monitoring.
She is co-author of 60 articles published in International Journals and Conferences and she serves as a reviewer for several scientific journals, including Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, Measurement, Sensors Journal, Sensors, IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies, Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, and the Applied Computational Electromagnetic Society Journal. In 2014 Erika Pittella was involved as a tutor in the High Level Postgraduate Course in Aerospace Engineering for the TigriSat satellite project. Erika Pittella was a visiting researcher at King's College London funded by the MOBY.D.I.K project "Percorsi individuali di mobilità geografica in contesti accademici". She is Associate Editor of IET Microwaves, Antennas, and Propagation. Dr. Pittella is a member of the Instrumentation and Measurement Society of IEEE and of the Italian Group of Electrical and Electronic Measurements (GMEE).
