Guido Lombardi

Guido Lombardi is a Full Professor in the Department of Electronics and Telecommunications at Polytechnic University of Turin, where he serves as a member of the Interdepartmental Center CARS@PoliTO - Center for Automotive Research and Sustainable Mobility. His academic career spans over two decades with significant contributions to computational electromagnetics and related fields.

Dr. Lombardi's research focuses on computational electromagnetics, particularly analytical and numerical methods, electromagnetic propagation (scattering and diffraction), metamaterials, wave propagation, and the Wiener-Hopf technique. His work extends to practical applications including microgrid/technological modernization of eco-districts, triboelectricity in industrial applications, and security and science for peace initiatives. His research aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to affordable and clean energy, industry innovation, and sustainable cities.

His publication record demonstrates a strong focus on electromagnetic theory, with numerous papers in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and other prestigious journals. The research trajectory shows consistent development in solving complex electromagnetic problems using advanced analytical and numerical techniques, particularly the Wiener-Hopf method applied to wedge diffraction problems, waveguide analysis, and metamaterial applications.

Notable scientific awards and recognitions include:

• Raj Mittra Junior Researcher Award from IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (2003)
• Executive Committee member of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (2016-2021)
• Honorary member of URSI (2018-)
• Honorary member of IEEE (2011-)

Dr. Lombardi has served as a mentor to PhD students including Matteo Perrone (working on multiphysics acoustic-electromagnetic metasurfaces) and Sergio Cannata (focusing on biological image analysis through deep learning techniques). He has secured significant research funding through competitive calls including the PNRR Mission 4 HPC Spoke 6 project (2022-2025) and the GREEN TAGS project (2020-2024). His editorial service includes roles on IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Electronics Letters, and IEEE Access.

He has been actively involved in organizing major international conferences, serving as program chair for multiple IEEE-APS Topical Conferences on Antennas and Propagation in Wireless Communications and the International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA) from 2001 to present. His research group, Electromagnetic Modeling and Applications, focuses on advanced numerical methods for electromagnetic problems.
