Roberta Palmeri was born in Catania, Italy, in 1989. She received the M.S. Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in telecommunication engineering from the University of Catania, Italy, in 2014 and the Ph.D degree in information engineering from Università Mediterranea of Reggio Calabria, Italy, in 2018. From December 2017 to September 2020 she was a member of the LEMMA Research Group at Università Mediterranea where she worked first as Post Doc Researcher and from December 2019 as Assistant Professor. Now she works as Researcher at the Institute of Electromagnetic Sensing of the Environment, National Research Council of Italy (IREA-CNR), Naples, Italy.
Her scientific activities are concerned with inverse problems in electromagnetics. In particular, she is presently focused on the development of new strategies based on inverse scattering for the synthesis of innovative devices. Dr. Palmeri was the recipient of the Best Italian Remote Sensing Thesis Prize from the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing South Italy Chapter in 2014, the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (Central and South Italy Chapter) prize in 2017 and the Young Scientist Award at the 2nd URSI Atlantic Radio Science Meeting in 2018.
