LOURDES FARRUGIA
Dr. Lourdes Farrugia is currently a senior lecturer in the Department of Physics at the University of Malta. She graduated with a BSc in Mathematics and Physics in 2008 and the following year she was awarded an MSc in Physics. In 2016, she obtained her Ph.D during which she studied the interaction of electromagnetic fields with the human body. Her project mainly focused on aspects of instrumentation and measurement of dielectric properties, in particular those of biological tissues, as relevant to the microwave medical device community. Since then, she has been actively involved in different researchprojects, focusing mainly on addressing gaps in knowledge of dielectric properties of biological tissues and on using this knowledge to design and optimise innovative Electromagnetic (EM) medical devices. Lourdes Farrugia has been involved in European networks of COST actions since 2012 and in 2018 she was appointed as the Chairperson of COST Action CA17115 MyWAVE, of which she was the main proposer. The network currently includes over 250 researchers all working towards advancing current EM hyperthermic technologies closer to patient bedside.
Currently, she is also the Chairperson of the national Commission for the Protection from Ionizing and non-Ionizing radiation in Malta.
