Biography
Rita Massa is professor of electromagnetic fields at the Department of Physics “Ettore Pancini” at the University of Naples Federico II, where she is the chief of the NIR-Billy (Non Ionizing Radiation –Biolectromagnetic) Laboratory. She as her expertise in the interactions of electromagnetic fields (overall radiofrequency and microwaves)with materials. Her research interests are biological effects of electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic dosimetry, electromagnetic fields exposure assessment (both numerical and experimental), therapeutic and industrial applications of microwaves, high power microwave applications, nondestructive testing of materials. The approach is basically experimental. The purpose applications focused on human health (biological systems) and monitoring (diagnostics) and control of materials and processes.
