Curriculum Vitae
From October 1999 to May 2000, Gianluigi Tiberi carried out his “Laurea” degree thesis “A novel statistical model for field and power prediction inside a building” at the Centre for Telecommunications Research, King’s College, London (Head: Prof. Hamid Aghvami).
In November 2000 Gianluigi Tiberi joined, as a Ph.D. student, the Microwave and Radiation Laboratory at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa, conducting researches in the area of Applied Electromagnetics (Advisors: Prof. Giuliano Manara, Prof. Agostino Monorchio).
From September 2002 to December 2002, he was a Visiting Ph.D. researcher at the Electromagnetic Communication Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, conducting researches on Electromagnetic Scattering (Advisor: Prof. Raj Mittra).
Gianluigi Tiberi, after receiving the Ph.D. degree in April 2004, joined the Microwave and Radiation Laboratory at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa with a post-Ph.D. position.
From February 2006, he is collaborating with the Communications Research Group, University of Oxford, UK (head Prof. David Edwards). From February 2007, he is involved in a project collaboration with the Electromagnetic Communication Laboratory, Pennsylvania State University, PA (head Prof. Raj Mittra).
From March 2009 to March 2010, Dr. Tiberi spent one year at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, after receiving a Marie Curie Intra European Fellowships for Career Development, Seventh Research Framework Programme (id. FP7-PEOPLE-2007-2-1-IEF). Next, he was Guest Research Fellow by the same Department for six months. The research activity conducted at the Communications Research Group during the Marie Curie fellowship was focused on the modelling of ultrawideband (UWB) Radio Propagation in Human Body, to be used either for communications or for UWB medical imaging. The results of such research paved the way for the development of novel techniques for breast cancer detection.
Dr. Tiberi is currently conducting his research at Imago7 Foundation, University of Pisa, where he is working as Radio Frequency expert. The Imago 7 Foundation has recently purchased a 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanner, and it is establishing the first humanultra high field MR research centre in Italy.

Research Interests
Dr. Tiberi research interests include low and high-frequency derived approaches for solving electromagnetic scattering problems, electromagnetic propagation in complex environment, wide band/ultra wide band channel modelling, microwave and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for medical application. Dr. Tiberi presented his results at many international conferences; moreover since 2004 he is lecturer for the “Foundations of Electromagnetic Fields” course, “Laurea” degree in Telecommunication Engineering and in Electronic Engineering, Department of Information Engineering of the University of Pisa, Italy.
