Education and career

Llombart earned a master's degree in 2002 and a Ph.D. in 2006 from the Technical University of Valencia, including study as a visiting student at the University of Erlangen–Nuremberg. [1]

During her doctoral studies, she worked in the Security and Safety Institute of the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research in The Hague. After postdoctoral research at the California Institute of Technology from 2007 until 2010, and as a Ramón y Cajal fellow in optics at the Complutense University of Madrid from 2010 until 2012, she returned to the Netherlands in 2012, taking a position at the Technical University of Delft. She became a full professor there in 2018. [1]

Recognition

Llombart was the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Antenna and Propagation Society Lot Shafai Mid-Career Distinguished Achievement Award, "for her original contributions to terahertz antennas and quasi-optical systems, academic leadership, and proven role model for women in antenna engineering". [2] She was named an IEEE Fellow, in the 2020 class of fellows, "for contributions to millimeter and submillimeter wave quasi-optical antennas". [3]

Terahertz radiation – also known as submillimeter radiation, terahertz waves, tremendously high frequency (THF), T-rays, T-waves, T-light, T-lux or THz – consists of electromagnetic waves within the ITU-designated band of frequencies from 0.3 to 3 terahertz (THz), although the upper boundary is somewhat arbitrary and is considered by some sources as 30 THz. One terahertz is 1012 Hz or 1000 GHz. Wavelengths of radiation in the terahertz band correspondingly range from 1 mm to 0.1 mm = 100 µm. Because terahertz radiation begins at a wavelength of around 1 millimeter and proceeds into shorter wavelengths, it is sometimes known as the submillimeter band, and its radiation as submillimeter waves, especially in astronomy. This band of electromagnetic radiation lies within the transition region between microwave and far infrared, and can be regarded as either.
