Lorenzo Bastia is a PhD student at the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering “Guglielmo Marconi” (DEI) of the University of Bologna, Italy. His research focuses on non-uniform arrays, with particular emphasis on the application of Time-Modulated Arrays (TMA) and Frequency-Diverse Arrays (FDA) to localization and Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) in the far-field region.
Academic and Professional Career
Bachelor’s Degree in Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering from the University of Bologna (2020), with a thesis entitled “Firmware update of an acquisition system for the study of beams used in hadrontherapy”, supervisor: Prof. Mauro Villa.
Master’s Degree in Electronic Engineering from the University of Bologna (2023), with a thesis entitled “Multi-finger frequency-diverse array design and realization for precise localization and powering applications”, supervisor: Prof. Diego Masotti, co-supervisor: Dr. Enrico Fazzini.
From February 2024 to November 2024, he was a research fellow at the University of Bologna, working on the research project entitled “Time- and frequency-diversity applied to advanced radiating architectures operating in indoor scenarios”.
Since November 2024, he has been a PhD student at the University of Bologna. His doctoral project is entitled “Development of a Self-Consistent Transmitting Array System for Wireless Power Transfer”.
During his PhD, the following activities were carried out in compliance with the Declaration of Absence of Conflicts of Interest:
