Francesca Vipiana is a Full Professor of Electromagnetic Fields at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications of the Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy. Her current research interests include the modelling, design and testing of microwave imaging and sensing systems for medical and industrial applications. She is also involved in the development of numerical techniques based on integral equations and method of moment approaches, with a focus on multiresolution schemes, domain decomposition and advanced quadrature integration schemes. Prof. Vipiana received the Young Scientist Award from the Union of Radio Science General Assembly (URSI) in 2005, the First Prize in the poster competition at the IEEE Women in Electromagnetics Workshop in 2009, the ISMB Best Paper Award in 2011, the Lot Shafai Mid-Career Distinguished Award from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (APS) in 2017, and the Best Paper Award at the Spanish URSI Symposium in 2023. She is currently Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Associate Editor of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, where she is the responsible for the column “Women in Engineering”, Vice-Chair of the IEEE APS Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee, and part of the Board of Directors in the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP).
