Giovanni Leone graduated with a degree in Electronic Engineering in 1981 at the University of Naples. From 1986 to 1992, he was an associate researcher in Electromagnetics at the University of Salerno. He became an associate professor, first, in 1992 at the University of Salerno and, then, in 1995 at the Second University of Naples. Since April 2000, he has been a full professor at the University of Reggio Calabria, where he was the manager of the PhD course in Telecommunication Engineering, and more recently at the Second University of Naples, where he has been the manager of the PhD course in Information Engineering. He has obtained funding from the Italian Space Agency and from the university. From 1999 to 2005, he was a member of the scientific committee of CREATE. His scientific interests ranged from the mathematical properties of radiated fields, with applications in antenna measurement techniques, to inverse problems in antenna synthesis; phase retrieval of radiated fields; inverse scattering for material diagnostics and buried object prospection; and more recently, analysis and synthesis of conformal antennas. He has authored more than 250 scientific papers (95 published in international journals).
