Talk Abstract:

Biography:

The widely known Shannon/Nyquist theorem relates thenumber of samples required to reliably retrieve a "signal" toits (spatial and temporal) bandwidth. This fundamental
criterion yields to both theoretical and experimentalconstraints in several Electromagnetic Engineering
applications. Indeed, there is a relation between the numberof measurements/data (complexity of the acquisition/processing), the degrees of freedom of the field/signal(temporal/spatial bandwidth), and the retrievable information
regarding the phenomena at hand.
The new paradigm of Compressive Sensing (CS) is enabling
to completely revisit these concepts by distinguishing the"informative content" of signals from their bandwidth.
Indeed, CS theory asserts that one can recover certain
signal/phenomena exactly from far fewer measurements
than it is indicated by Nyquist sampling rate. To achieve thisgoal, CS relies on the fact that many natural phenomena aresparse (i.e., they can be represented by few non‐zerocoefficients in suitable expansion bases), and on the use ofaperiodic sampling strategies, which can guarantee, undersuitable conditions, a perfect recovery of the information
content of the signal.
Despite its recent introduction, the application of CS
methodologies Electromagnetics has already enabled
several innovative design/synthesis methodologies andretrieval/diagnosis methods to be developed.
In this framework, the short course is aimed at reviewing thefundamentals of the CS paradigm, specifically focusing on
the applicability conditions, requirements, and guidelines for
EM applications. Moreover, it is aimed at illustrating thestate-of-the-art and the most recent advances inElectromagnetic Engineering (including application of CS toantenna synthesis and diagnosis, direction-of-arrivalestimation, inverse scattering, and radar imaging), as well as
at envisaging possible future research trends andchallenges within CS as applied to Electromagnetics.

Andrea Massa (IET Fellow, Electromagnetic AcademyFellow, IEEE Senior Member) received the “laurea”
degree in Electronic Engineering from the University ofGenoa, Genoa, Italy, in 1992 and Ph.D. degree in EECS
from the same university in 1996. From 1997 to 1999, hewas an Assistant Professor of Electromagnetic Fields at
the University of Genoa. From 2001 to 2004, he was an
Associate Professor at the University of Trento. Since
2005, he has been a Full Professor of ElectromagneticFields at the University of Trento.
At present, Prof. Massa is the director of the ELEDIA
Research Center with a staff of more than 40 researchers
located in the network of federated laboratories in Brunei,China, Czech Rep., France, Italy, Japan, Perù, Tunisia.
Moreover, he is Adjunct Professor at Penn StateUniversity (USA), Professor @ CentraleSupélec, holder ofa ‘Senior DIGITEO Chair’ in Paris-Saclay (France), andholder of a ‘Catedra de Excelencia’ at the Universidad
Carlos III de Madrid, Madrid (Spain). It has been
appointed IEEE AP-S Distinguished Lecturer (2016-2018).
His research activities are mainly concerned with inverse
problems, analysis/synthesis of antenna systems andlarge arrays, radar systems synthesis and signal
processing, system-by-design and material by design(metamaterials and reconfigurable materials), andtheory/applications of optimization techniques toengineering problems (telecoms., biology, medicine).
Prof. Massa published more than 290 scientificpublications on international journals, 400 in international
conferences (> 100 invited contributions). He hasorganized more than 50 scientific sessions in international
conferences and he has participated to several
technological projects in the European framework (20 EUProjects) as well as at the national level (>100Projects/Grants).
