Dominique M. M.-P. Schreurs is a Belgian microwave engineer whose research interests range from the accurate computer simulation of microwave components to the applications of microwaves in wearable health monitoring devices. She is a professor in the Faculty of Engineering Science at KU Leuven, the former editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, and the former president of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society.

Education and career

Schreurs is the daughter of two teachers. As was typical at the time in Belgium, Schreurs attended a gender-segregated school, which did not provide the mathematics enrichment that was available at the boys' schools. Nevertheless, she studied both mathematics and Latin in her high school, the only student to do so, and passed the university entrance exam for engineering. With the encouragement of her parents, she studied electronic engineering at KU Leuven, [2] earning a master's degree there in 1992 and completing her Ph.D. in 1997. [1]

She was a postdoctoral researcher with Agilent Technologies, ETH Zurich, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. [3] She has been on the faculty at KU Leuven since 1997, and is a full professor there. [4] She chairs the Leuven Centre on Information and Communication Technology. [5]

She was editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques from 2014 to 2016, and was president of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society beginning in 2018, [3] serving as its first female president. [3] [2] Already elected as president for the 2019 term, she took office early after the unexpected death of the previous president, Thomas J. Brazil. [2]

Microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than other radio waves but longer than infrared waves. Its wavelength ranges from about one meter to one millimeter, corresponding to frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz, broadly construed. A more common definition in radio-frequency engineering is the range between 1 and 100 GHz, or between 1 and 3000 GHz . The prefix micro- in microwave is not meant to suggest a wavelength in the micrometer range; rather, it indicates that microwaves are small, compared to the radio waves used in prior radio technology.

Microwave engineering pertains to the study and design of microwave circuits, components, and systems. Fundamental principles are applied to analysis, design and measurement techniques in this field. The short wavelengths involved distinguish this discipline from electronic engineering. This is because there are different interactions with circuits, transmissions and propagation characteristics at microwave frequencies.
