Lorenzo Crocco is a Research Director at the Institute for the Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment, National Research Council of Italy (IREA-CNR), Naples. His scientific interests mainly concern electromagnetic scattering, with a focus on diagnostic and therapeutic uses of EM fields, non-invasive electromagnetic inspections, through-the-wall radar and GPR. He is associate editor for the IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology (IEEE J-ERM) and has edited two books on medical electromagnetic technologies. He is member of the board for the European School of Antennas (ESOA), member of the Scientific Board of the Italian Electromagnetic Society (SIEm) and a member of the Italian URSI Commission (International Union of Radio Science). Since 2019, he is member of the Scientific Board of the Engineering Department (DIITET) of CNR. Since 2024, he has been elected in the EurAAP Delegate Assembly (Delegate Group 3: Italy, San Marino, Vatican City).
