Gaetano Marrocco

Professor and Director of the School of Medical Engineering, Tor Vergata University
Coordinator of the Degree Course in Medical Engineering and vice-director of the Department of Civil Engineering and Computer Engineering. For over 20 years, he has been actively dedicated to wireless technologies for the Internet of Things, specializing in the development of low-impact wireless sensors based on Radio Frequency Identification. These sensors are used to monitor the environment, human health and industrial processes. Recently, he has started research on wireless bio-prosthetics and Flexible Electromagnetic skins, a new technology that uses very thin sensors applied to the skin and organs to acquire biophysical parameters. He has conducted clinical trials to monitor temperature, breathing and restore the sense of touch, monitor the health of the prostheses and promptly identify chemical-physical abnormalities.
He has collaborated with numerous companies and high-tech institutions, including Selex Communication, Thales Alenia Space, Systems Engineering, Space Engineering, European Space Agency, Bridgestone, Ferrari, Enel, Unilever, Pfizer, BBRaun and Orthofix. In addition, it supports the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the Interior.
He is Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of RFID and the IEEE Flexible Electronics Journal. He is also the Italian chair of the D Electronics and Photonics Commission of URSI (Union Radio Science International) and member of the Advisor Board of EURAC-CSS. He has organized and co-organized several national and international conferences.
