Salvatore Caorsi

Biography

Salvatore Caorsi received the "laurea" degree in Electronic Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Genoa, Genoa, Italy, in 1973. Upon graduation he started his activities with the University of Genoa and served as a Professor of “Antennas and Propagation”, “Remote sensing and electromagnetic diagnostic” and “Electromagnetic Compatibility”. Since 1994 he is Full Professor of Electromagnetic Fields with the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, where he is teaching “Electromagnetic Compatibility”, “Electromagnetic Fields and Environment Impact” and “Electromagnetic Techniques for Remote sensing and Diagnostics”. From 2001/2002 up to 2007/2008, he has been the academic chief of the Didactic Council of Information Engineering of the Engineering Faculty of University of Pavia, including both the first and the second level degree courses in Biomedical Engineering, Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering and Computer Sciences. In the academic year 2002/2003 he has been also Professor of Electromagnetic Compatibility and Environmental Impact for the second-level degree course in Telecommunication Engineering at the University of Trento, Trento, Italy.

Research Interest

1. numerical methods for the solution of electromagnetic fields in complex environments; 2. electromagnetic techniques for imaging and reconstruction purposes as applied to remote sensing and diagnostics, with particular reference to the detection, reconstruction and recognition ("electromagnetic vision") of buried objects, such as, for example, polluting materials, mines, underground urban services (electricity and/or phone cables, water or gas pipes, and so on), or to quality material analysis ( e.g. rail ways safety mobility) and geophysical inspection; 3. analysis, development and measure of antennas (an example of such activity is the development of the antennas for the dutch telepass service); 4. biomedical applications concerning human safety and health by developing 5. electromagnetic compatibility, to study and analyse the correct behaviour of devices and of electronic, electric and electromechanical components.
