Gaetano Bellanca is Associate Professor of Electromagnetic Fields at the Department of Engineering of the University of Ferrara, where he teaches Propagation and Antennas. He also holds courses on Wired and Wireless Interconnections and Anti-Collision Systems and on Electromagnetic Compatibility for the Inter-University Degrees of Automotive (Advanced Automotive Electronic Engineering and Electrical Vehicle Engineering).

Gaetano Bellanca received the Dr. Eng. degree (with honors) in Electronic Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Bologna in 1991 and in 1996, respectively, for his contribution to the study on the applications of the Classical Holography in optics and of the Finite Difference in the Time Domain (FDTD) in microwave heating.
From 1996 to 1999 he was with the Department of Electronics and Computer Science of the University of Bologna, with a post-doc fellowship on the Numerical Techniques in optics. In 1996 he was a visiting researcher at the Laboratoire de Physique de la Matière Condensée, of the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and in 2008 he was a visiting professor at the same laboratory. He was also a visiting professor at the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering of the University of Glasgow (2009), at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of the University of Nottingham (2013) and ENSSAT Laboratory (Lannion, France - 2015).

The research activities of Gaetano Bellanca fall within the sphere of numerical simulation with applications in various sectors of electromagnetism, from microwave heating to integrated optics. In this context, the activity carried out concerns both the design and characterization of components and devices for telecommunications, and the study of components with applications in the field of sensors and bio-photonics.
