Postdoctoral Researcher




Alessio Mostaccio

     
alessio.mostaccio@uniroma2.it

Alessio Mostaccio received the MSc in Medical Engineering (Hons.) in 2021 from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy, where he is has successfully obtained his PhD in 2025. He is also a part-time employee in the RADIO6ENSE Srl company.

His research is focused on laser-induced graphene (LIG) for designing and manufacturing antennas starting from polymeric precursors. He is also focused on researching and developing biocompatible RFID-based methods to monitor food quality.

He has been a co-author of the paper "Cyber-tooth: Antennified dental Implant for RFID Wireless temperature Monitoring" winner of the Best Student Paper Award at the 2021 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology and Applications (RFID-TA). He won the Student Best Paper Award (2nd place) at the 2023 IEEE International Conference on Flexible, Printable Sensors and Systems (FLEPS). He also won the first prize at Tech Arena Competition by Huawei in 2024.

Francesco Lestini


     
francesco.lestini@uniroma2.it


Francesco Lestini received the B.S. and M.S. degrees (Hons.) in Medical Engineering from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy, in 2019 and 2021, respectively. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Control and Geoinformation within the Pervasive Electromagnetics Lab at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy. Since July 2023 he is a part-time R&D Medical Engineer at RADIO6ENSE Srl.

His research is focused on RFID-based Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS), to provide them with wireless and low-power reconfigurability. He is also interested in the development of epidermal RFID-grid for distributed skin temperature measurement. He is also part of the Cyber4Health observatory, which focuses on raising international awareness about the need of pre-market regulations related to the Cyber and Physical security of medical devices.

He won the Best Paper Award at the 7th edition of SpliTech Conference (2022) on Smart and Sustainable Technologies. He won ex-equo the Gaetano Latmiral Award at Riunione Italiana Nazionale di Elettromagnetismo (Rinem 2024). He also won the first prize at Tech Arena Competition by Huawei in 2024.



Francesca Nanni


     
francesca.nanni@uniroma2.it


Francesca Nanni received the M.Sc. degree in medical engineering (Hons.) in 2022 from the University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy, where she currently is a Ph.D. Student in Computer Science, Control and Geoinformation. She is also a part-time R&D Medical Engineer at RADIO6ENSE Srl.

Her research is focusing on Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) made with unconventional materials like laser-induced graphene (LIG), and how to increase the randomness of antenna structures to gain more information and unique cryptographic keys. She is also part of the Cyber4Health project, which raises international awareness about the need to apply Cyber and Physical security by design in medical devices.

She has been coauthor of the paper "Cyber-tooth: Antennified dental Implant for RFID Wireless temperature Monitoring" winner of the Best Student Paper Award at the 2021 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology and Applications (RFID-TA) and she won the Best Student Paper Award at the same Conference in 2022 and 2023. She won ex-equo the Gaetano Latmiral Award at Riunione Italiana Nazionale di Elettromagnetismo (Rinem 2024) and has been selected as a finalist for Best Student Paper Awards in the Wireless Power Transfer Conference and Expo (WPTCE 2025) and at the International Conference on Flexible Printable Sensors and Systems (FLEPS 2025).
