Nieves Ruiz is a researcher at the RF and Microwave Group since 2011. She received the Telecommunication Engineering degree from the University of Cantabria in 2010 and the Master degree on Mobile Network Information and Communication Technologies (MNICT) in 2013. In 2017, within the MNICT Doctoral framework, she received the PhD degree from University of Cantabria, with the thesis entitled “Design of Rectifying and Inverter Class E Topologies based on GaN HEMT and E-pHEMT Devices for Wireless Powering and Energy Harvesting Applications”.
Her research interests include the design of high-efficiency RF/Microwave topologies such as power amplifiers, synchronous rectifiers, oscillators and DC/DC converters to be used on efficient wireless transmission.
She is co-author of several national and international contributions, as the presented in the International Microwave Symposium (IMS), where she also belonged to one of the final teams of the Wireless Energy Harvesting competition held in Montreal in 2012. Indeed, she has contributed to IMS and European Microwave Week (EuMW) workshops. As a reviewer, she has participated in the Scientific Committee of the XXX and XXXI National Symposiums of the International Radio Science Union.
