Portable Microwave and mmWave Radars for Contactless Healthcare

Emanuele Cardillo received his M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Messina, Italy, and Ph.D degree from the University Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, Italy, in 2013 and 2018, respectively. He is currently Senior Assistant Professor and the head of the Microwave Electronics Laboratory at the University of Messina. His research interests are focused on the microwave and mm-wave electronics field, mainly on portable radars, microwave measurements, circuit design and realization. He is the recipient of the Italian 2022 MUR PRIN project: "Contactless And ReliAble Movement invEstigation with miLLimeter-waves rAdars". He was the recipient of the 2018 IEEE Sensors Journal Best Student Paper Award and the 2018 IEEE MTT-S award from the IEEE Sensors Council Italy Chapter and the IEEE MTT-S/AP-S Italy Chapter, respectively. He is the chair of the TC "Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Radar Sensors" of the IEEE Sensors Council Italy Chapter and TC Member of the IEEE MTT-28: Biological Effects and Medical Applications of RF and Microwaves.Changzhi Li received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, in 2009. He is a Professor at Texas Tech University. His research interests are microwave/millimeter-wave sensing for healthcare, security, energy efficiency, structural monitoring, and human–machine interface. Dr. Li was an IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Distinguished Microwave Lecturer, in the Tatsuo Itoh class of 2022–2024. He was a recipient of the IEEE MTT-S Outstanding Young Engineer Award, the IEEE Sensors Council Early Career Technical Achievement Award, the ASEE Frederick Emmons Terman Award, the IEEE-HKN Outstanding Young Professional Award, and the NSF Faculty Early CAREER Award. He is the General Chair of the 2024 IEEE Radio Wireless Week (RWW) in San Antonio, TX. Dr. Li is a Fellow of the IEEE and the National Academy of Inventors (NAI).
