Project manager: Dr. Martino Aldrigo was born in Italy, in 1978. He obtained his M.S. degree in Telecommunications Engineering (summa cum laude) from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 2009, and his PhD in Electronics Engineering, Telecommunications and Information Technology from the same university in 2014. Since December 2016 he is employed as Scientific Researcher III (CSIII) at Lab4 at the National Institute for Research and Development in Microtechnologies (IMT) in Bucharest, Romania. His main expertise comprises the electromagnetic simulations and measurements of RF/microwave systems for energy-harvesting/wireless applications. In the field of his research activity at IMT he is deeply involved in the design of graphene/2D materials/ferroelectrics-based components at microwave and THz frequencies for innovative micro- and nano-devices. He has (co-)authored more than 70 papers in ISI-ranked journal and national/international conferences, with over 400 citations and a h-index=13 (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=l0QbHDcAAAAJ&hl=ro). He has co-authored a chapter in the book “Advances in micro- and nanoelectronics” (Editura Academiei Romane, vol. 27, 2018) about ferroelectrics, and has participated/participates to many national and international (FP7, ENIAC, H2020) projects as team member/director.
