PAVONE Santi Concetto (Senior Member, IEEE) was born in Patti (ME), Italy, in 1988. He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees (summa cum laude) in electronics engineering from the University of Messina, Messina, Italy, in 2010 and 2012, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree (with the additional label of “Doctor Europaeus”) in information engineering and science (electromagnetics engineering) from the University of Siena, Siena, Italy, in 2015.,He was a Visiting Ph.D. Student with the Institut d’Electronique et de Telecommunications de Rennes (IETR), Université de Rennes 1, Rennes, France, for five months, in 2015. From 2016 to July 2019, he was an Associate Researcher with the Laboratory of Applied Electromagnetics, University of Siena. Since August 2019, he has been an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical, Electronics, and Information Engineering (DIEEI), University of Catania, Catania, Italy. His current research interests include fundamental electromagnetic theory, radar design at millimeter waves, high-frequency techniques, focusing systems, nondiffractive localized pulses, and leaky-wave reconfigurable antennas based on liquid crystals.,Dr. Pavone was a recipient of the European Science Foundation (ESF) Research Networking Program NEWFOCUS Scholarship in 2015 and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Student Award and Chapter of the Central-Southern Italy in 2014. He was the Best Paper Award (BPA) Finalist and BPA co-recipient in electromagnetics and antenna theory at EuCAP’17 and EuCAP’18, respectively, and a recipient of the Young Scientist Award (YSA) at the 2019 PIER Symposium. He serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE Access and as a Referee for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation.
