Biography

Marianna Biscarini received the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electromagnetism from the Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy, in 2012 and 2016, respectively. Since 2012, she has been with the Department of Information Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications (DIET), Sapienza University of Rome, and with the Center of Excellence in Telesensing of Environment and Model Prediction of Severe Events, University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy, working on electromagnetic wave propagation through the atmosphere (especially at microwave frequencies): physical modeling for electromagnetic propagation applications, such as attenuation due to rain/ice particles, scintillation effects, and expected impact on satellite links, remote sensing of atmospheric constituents using radiometric data, dimensioning of SatCom systems also exploiting weather forecast models, and propagation impairment mitigation techniques. She is currently a Research Assistant with DIET teaching the master’s degree course on “radio propagation” and is involved in several international projects, most of them commissioned to the research group by the European Space Agency, the U.S. Air Force Laboratory, and Thales Alenia Space Italy. Dr. Biscarini is an Associate Editor for IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters and a Member of the Propagation Working Group of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation and of the Italian Society.
