Human Exposure in 5G and 6G Scenarios
The trend in automotive field is toward smart connected ‘car ecosystems’ that can communicate with the external environment for sharing and obtaining information via mobile broadband (3-4-5G), Wi-Fi, satellite technology, and Internet of Things (IoT). This ‘car ecosystem’ includes devices used by passengers (e.g., for mobile communication and infotainment), car radar systems for life-sign detection and devices used by the car itself to communicate not only with other cars and road infrastructure, but also directly with pedestrian and the network. Objective of the present activity is the assessment of the dose of cumulative exposure to radio frequencies for car passengers and people in the nearby of this ‘car ecosystem’. We apply both deterministic approaches and novel and unique advanced statistical approaches (such as, stochastic dosimetry and Machine Learning) capable to model the complexity and variability of the real ‘car ecosystem’ scenario and assess cumulative exposure from different technologies, including new frequencies (from 5.9 GHz up to 60-70 GHz).

Electromagnetic modeling and characterization of innovative strategies for electroporation
Electroporation is a technique based on inducing of high intensity electric fields in the proximity of cells to increase the permeability of the cell membrane, allowing chemicals, drugs, or DNA plasmids to be introduced in the cell. The possibility of increasing of membrane permeability makes electroporation a very promising approach developing innovative drug therapies and vaccination strategies.
The activities are focused on the use of computational bioelectromagnetism methods for the development of innovative strategies, based on the use of electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields, combined with ad hoc developed nanoparticles to increase the gene delivery efficiency by exploiting all the aspects of the complex physical process hypothesized to contribute to the phenomenon of cell poration.
