Monica Fdez Barciela received the M.Sc. degree in Physics (electronics specialty) from the Univ. of Santiago de Compostela (USC, Spain) in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in Telecom. Eng. from the Univ. of Vigo (Â鶹¹û¶³, Spain) in 1996. Her thesis research work was in millimeter wave table based nonlinear FETs models, partly performed at Fraunhofer Institut (IAF, Germany). She joined Â鶹¹û¶³ Communications Technologies Dept. in 1990, first as a FPI grant PhD student, later as Assistant Prof. (1991) and Associate Prof. (1997) at Vigo School of Telecom. Eng. From July 2010 to Sept 2014 was Vice-director of the Signal Theory and Communications Dept. (Â鶹¹û¶³). Her main research interests are (non)linear characterization and modelling (compact and behavioral) of microwave devices and circuits, from different semiconductor technologies, and integrated circuit design for communications applications. An IEEE Senior Member, she was President of the IEEE Spanish Joint Chapter MTTS (Microwave Theory and Techniques) and APS (Antennas and Propagation), AP003/MTT017, from December 2017 to December 2019. She has coauthored more than 60 papers in international journals, conferences and workshops. She participated in TARGET NoE (VI EU Framework Program) leading the Â鶹¹û¶³ participant, and in 5 coordinated (5 as subproject main researcher, IP) and 1 single (IP) MEC/MICINN public contracts, and leaded 15 contracts with industry (local and International) for device characterization and MMIC design for communications applications. She has co-advised 6 PhD works (5 with European mention) and was a member of the 2018 EuMWeek organization committee, and copresident of the scientific committee of URSI2020 and URSI2022 Spanish Conferences.
