Giuseppe Gauci has completed a Master of Science degree in Physics (electromagnetics) at the University of Malta.

His dissertation dealt with ‘Extremely low frequency magnetic fields in the work environment’.

The study sought to determine, for the first time in Malta, whether specific work environments pose a risk to workers due to exposure to ELF magnetic fields higher than the thresholds established by the EU Directive 2013/35/EU, which mandates maximum exposure levels of workers to non-ionising electromagnetic fields.

The research was carried out under the supervision of Faculty of Science dean Charles Sammut.

The degree was carried out following the award of a Strategic Educational Pathways Scholarship (STEPS), which was part-financed by the European Social Fund.
