Microwave Sensors and Materials

The research group deals with various topics on characterization and applications of carbon-based materials (carbon nanotubes, graphene and biochar) at microwave frequency.  Furthermore, the problem of soil moisture retrieval is investigated applying Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) and machine learning technique. The group manages the Microwaves and remote sensing laboratory (MiReSLab).

Research topics

• Concrete loaded with graphene or biochar for shielding applications
• Electromagnetic characterization of materials
• Films loaded with Carbon-based materials (sensors and tunable devices)
• Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R)
