Matteo Bruno Lodi earned his Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Cagliari (2016) and his Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino (2018). In 2022, he was awarded a Ph.D. with honors in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the University of Cagliari. In February 2022, he obtained the Italian National Scientific Qualification for Associate Professor in the scientific field 09/IINF-02 (formerly ING-INF/02).
He is currently working as a tenure-track researcher (RTT), after serving as a fixed-term researcher (RTD-A) within the PNRR project "HEALITALIA" (PE_0000001 CUP F53C22000750006) since July 2023. Previously, he worked as a technologist in the Applied Electromagnetics group from January 2021 to July 2022. His research focuses on the modeling of bioelectromagnetic phenomena, particularly hyperthermia treatment; the study, fabrication, and synthesis of magnetic biomaterials for tissue engineering applications; and the use of microwaves for biotechnological and environmental applications. He also works on the design and characterization of antennas for space and wearable applications, as well as on radio wave propagation in urban and indoor scenarios. He has authored or co-authored over 90 papers, published in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. According to Scopus (Scopus ID: 57211403950, ORCID: 0000-0002-8314-1575), his H-index is 14 and he has received 701 citations (as of May 30, 2025).
He received the Barzilai Award (ex-aequo) at the XXV National Electromagnetics Meeting and the Roberto Sorrentino Young Scientist Award at the Italian URSI Assembly 2022. He was honored as a Young Scientist at the URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium in 2020 and 2021. He was a member of WG2: "Better thermal-based EM therapeutics" of the COST Action 17115 "MyWave."
He has served as Chair of the IEEE Nanotechnology Council Young Professionals since 2021 and as a Student Ambassador for the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society since 2022. He is also a mentee in the EurAAP mentoring program. He is a member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Future Directions Technology Policy and Ethics newsletter, the Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, the International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering, and Electronics (MDPI).
