Biography

Daniele Cavallo received the M.Sc. degree (cum laude) in telecommunication engineering from the University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy, in 2007, and his Ph.D. degree (cum laude) in Electromagnetics from Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, Netherlands, in 2011.

From January 2007 to November 2011, he was with the Antenna Group at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO Defense, Security and Safety), The Hague, Netherlands. From 2012 to 2015, he was Postdoc at Delft University of Technology (TUDelft), Delft, Netherlands. In 2015, he visited Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.  He is now Associate Professor in the Terahertz Sensing group at TUDelft.

He is the author or coauthor of more than 150 publications in peer-reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. His research interests include analytical and numerical methods for antenna characterization, the design of antenna arrays and on-chip antennas.

Dr. Cavallo was recipient of the best paper award in electromagnetics and antenna theory at the European Conference on antennas ant propagation (EuCAP) 2017 and of the best innovative paper prize at the 30th ESA Antenna Workshop in 2008. The students he supervised received the best student paper award at the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) 2013, the "Special Mention for Excellent Presentation” at EuCAP 2015 and the Else Kooi Prize in 2016. Dr. Cavallo has been awarded a 3-year personal grant from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO VENI, 250 keuro), for developing efficient on-chip THz antennas. He is currently an associate editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION. He is a member of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) and co-coordinator of the EurAAP working group “Active Array Antennas”.
