Profile

Academic profile

Massimo Rosamilia (Member, IEEE) received the B.S. (cum laude) and M.S. degrees in computer engineering from the University of Salerno, Fisciano, Italy, in 2017 and 2019, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree (cum laude) in information technologies and electrical engineering from the University of Naples Federico II, Naples, Italy, in 2023. ,From September to November 2021, he was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at Cranfield University, Shrivenham, U.K. From September to December 2022, he was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at the University of Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg. From June to August 2024, he was a Visiting Researcher at the University of Birmingham, Birmingham, U.K., and from July to August 2025, he was a Visiting Researcher at Cranfield University, Shrivenham, U.K. He is currently an Assistant Professor (RTD-A) with the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology (DIETI), University of Naples Federico II. His research interests include array signal processing as well as detection, estimation, and optimization theory in the context of radar systems.,Dr. Rosamilia was the recipient of the 2023 GTTI Ph.D. award for Ph.D. theses in the field of communication technologies and also the co-recipient of the SET Panel Best Paper Award (Young Scientist) at the NATO SET-319 Specialists’ Meeting on “New Mathematical Frontiers for Multi-Dimensional Radar Systems’‘, in 2023. He is currently serving as Associate Editor of the IEEE AESS Magazine.

Research

Research Topics

Main research directions and areas of activity.

My research activity focuses on statistical signal processing for radar systems, with particular emphasis on detection and estimation theory and optimization methods for waveform and transceiver design. I work on advanced topics such as array processing, covariance-structured inference, and cognitive radar, including spectral coexistence and integrated sensing and communication. My interests also extend to radar imaging (SAR and ISAR), sonar systems, and the development and validation of experimental sensing platforms.
