His main research interests concern the computational electromagnetics, the substrate integrated waveguide technology, and the use of novel materials and fabrication technologies for microwave circuits (including paper, textile, and 3D printing). Prof. Bozzi received several awards, including the 2015 Premium Award for Best Paper in IET Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation, the 2014 Premium Award for the Best Paper in Electronics Letters, the Best Student Paper Award at the 2016 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks (WiSNet2016), the Best Paper Award at the 15th Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS2015), the Best Student Award at the 4th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2010), the Best Young Scientist Paper Award of the XXVII General Assembly of URSI (International Union of Radio Science)in 2002, and the MECSA Prize of the Italian Conference on Electromagnetics (XIII RiNEm), in 2000. He is the General Chair of the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series-Advanced Materials and Processes (IMWS-AMP 2017), Pavia, Italy, 2017. He was the General Chair of the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Millimeter Wave Integration Technologies (Sitges, Spain, Sept. 15-16, 2011). He was the General Conference Chair of the inaugural edition of the IEEE International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic Modeling and Optimization, NEMO2014 (Pavia, Italy, May 14-16, 2014). He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a Member of the European Microwave Association (EuMA), and a Member of the Societa' Italiana di Elettromagnetismo (SIEm). Prof. Bozzi is an Elected Member of the Administrative Committee of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) for term 2017–2019 and a Co-Chair of the Meeting and Symposia Committee of MTT-S AdCom for year 2017. He was the Secretary of IEEE MTT-S for year 2016 and a member of the General Assembly (GA) of the European Microwave Association (EuMA) for the term 2014–2016. Moreover, he is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, the IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation, and the IET Electronics Letters.
