Stefania Romeo, born in 1985, received the Master degree (summa cum laude) in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II (Naples, Italy), and the Ph.D. in electronic engineering from the Second University of Naples (Aversa, Italy) in 2008 and 2012, respectively. From June 2012 to March 2016 she has been with IREA-CNR (Naples, Italy) as research fellow, and she currently holds a Research Scientist position with the same institution. From September 2010 to March 2011she was visiting student at the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Electrophysics, University of Southern California (Los Angeles, CA; USA). In May 2014 she was visiting scientist at the University of Copenhagen at Herlev Hospital (Denmark) for a short term scientific mission in the framework of the COST Action TD1104 (“European Network for the Development of Electroporation-based Technologies and Treatments”). In 2015 she received the Young Researcher Award at the “1st World Congress on Electroporation and Pulsed Electric Fields in Biology, Medicine and Environmental Technologies”. Dr Romeo is Ambassador for the 2019 “Electroporation-based Technologies and Treatments School”. The research activity of Dr Romeo is in the framework of bioelectromagnetics and deals with the design and realization of high voltage, ns pulse generators for in vitro biological applications, the study of biological effects of pulsed electric fields on mammalian cells with experimental and modeling approaches, and the employment of numerical and experimental dosimetry techniques for in vitro exposures to RF electromagnetic fields.
