FERNANDEZ BARCIELA

Monica Fdez. Barciela received the M.Sc. degree in Physics (electronics) (USC, Spain) in 1989, and the Ph.D. degree in Telecommunication Engineering (UVigo, Spain) in 1996. Her thesis research work was in millimeter-wave table-based nonlinear FETs models, partly performed at Fraunhofer-Institut (IAF, Germany) through different stay grants. Joined UVigo Communications Technologies Dept. in 1990, first as a FPI granted PhD student, later as Assistant prof. (1991) and Associate prof. (1997) at Vigo School of Telecommunication Eng. From July 2010 to Sept. 2014 was vice-director of the Signal Theory and Communications Dept. (UVigo), from Dec. 2017 to Dec. 2019 was president of the IEEE Spanish Joint Chapter MTT-S and AP-S (AP003/MTT017). Since 2010 is executive or scientific committee member of atlanTTic Research Center (Uvigo). Her main research interests are (non)linear characterization and modelling of microwave devices and circuits, and integrated (Hybrid/MMIC) circuit design for communications applications. An IEEE Senior member, was ANECA (2016-19) and Spanish Science and Education National Office (MEC) reviewer (2005-8), and ANEP reviewer since 2001. Has co-authored papers in international journals, conferences and workshops and invited to participate in prestigious workshops in topics related to nonlinear vector network analyzer device characterization, nonlinear table-based and behavioral modelling for MW oscillators or power detector design. Leaded (IP) the UVigo participant in TARGET NoE (VI EU Framework Programme), in AGAMI_EURIGAMI (EU EDF 2021) and in MEC/MICINN public contracts and leaded contracts with industry (local & International).
