Prof. Alessandro Di Carlofelice graduated in Electronic Engineering at the University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy, in 2006 and earned a Ph.D in Microwave radiometry for remote sensing and bio-medical applications in 2011. In July 2006, he participated in the ESMO (European Student Moon Orbiter) program, supported by ESA, to design a microwave radiometer payload. In November 2006, he joined the EXOMARS program with Telespazio to perform detailed analyses and trade-offs of communication scenario options for the ROCC (Rover Operations Control Center) in support of rover mission operations. He tested hybrid subsystems (a Ku-band transmitter) at Thales Alenia Space (Sept. 2007 – Dec. 2007). In February 2011, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of L’Aquila as a Postdoctoral Researcher. His research focuses on space systems for telecommunications and remote sensing. He is a member of SIEM (Italian Society of Electromagnetics).
