Biography

Cristina Yepes (S’17) received the M.Sc. degree in Telecommunication engineering from University of Navarra, Navarra, Spain, in 2015. She received her Ph.D. degree at the Terahertz Sensing Group, Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, in 2020.

From 2020 to 2022, she was a postdoc at Siena University in Siena, Italy. Since 2022, she is postdoc at Public University of Navarra, Spain. Her current research interests include analysis and design techniques for phased array antennas and frequency selective surfaces, and analytical and numerical methods for antenna characterization.

Dr. Yepes was a co-recipient of the Best Innovative Paper Prize at the 39th ESA Antenna Workshop in 2018.
