Prof. Leopoldo Angrisani, IEEE Fellow
University of Napoli Federico II, Italy
MedITech Competence Center I4.0 - Technical-Scientific Committee Coordinator
Leopoldo Angrisani is Full Professor of Electrical and Electronic Measurements with the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering of the University of Naples Federico II, Italy. He is also Chair of the Board of the Ph.D. Program ICTH - Information and Communication Technology for Health of the University of Naples Federico II.
His research activity has always been focused on topics related to electrical and electronic measurements. He currently pays attention to the role of measurement in the IoT field and, more generally, in the Industry 4.0 and Health 4.0 fields, cyber-physical measurement systems, measurement of ICT systems sustainability and sustainability of measurements, sensors, sensor networks, and measurement methods in precision agriculture and livestock farming, operation and performance assessment of communication systems, equipment, and networks, measurement uncertainty, impact of quantum technologies on measurements, metrological characterization of advanced human-to-machine interfaces.
He was and is currently involved in many industrial research projects, in cooperation with small, medium, and great enterprises, for which he played and is currently playing the role of scientific coordinator. He is currently the Coordinator of the Technical/Scientific Committee of MedITech – one of the eight Italian Competence Centers on I4.0 enabling technologies.
He is Fellow Member of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement and Communications Societies. He was Honorary Chairman of the first (M&N 2019) and second (M&N 2022) edition of the IEEE International Symposium on Measurements & Networking, General Chairman of the second edition (MetroInd4.0&IoT 2019) of the IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Industry 4.0 and IoT, and General Chairman of the first edition (IEEE MeAVeAS 2023) of the IEEE International Workshop on Measurements and Applications in Veterinary and Animal Sciences. He is vice-chair of the Italian Association “GMEE-Electrical and Electronic Measurements Group”, and corresponding member of the Accademia Pontaniana in Naples, the oldest Italian academy, with almost 600 years of history, which has always brought together renowned Neapolitan scholars.
In 2009, he was awarded the IET Communications Premium for the paper entitled “Performance measurement of IEEE 802.11b-based networks affected by narrowband interference through cross-layer measurements” (published in IET Communications, vol. 2, No. 1, January 2008).
The IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society Italy Chapter, which he has been chairing since 2015, was awarded in 2016 the prestigious recognition “I&M Society Best Chapter Award” by the IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Society, in 2017 the prestigious recognition “Most Improved Membership Chapter for 2016” by the IEEE Italy Section, in 2018 the prestigious recognition “Most Innovative Chapter 2018” by the IEEE Italy Section, and in 2021 the prestigious recognition "Chapter of the Year 2021" by the IEEE Region 8 (Europe, Middle Est, Africa).
In 2021, he was awarded the prestigious recognition “2021 IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society Technical Award” with the following citation “For contributions in the advancement of innovative methods and techniques for communication systems test and measurement”.
