I am a PhD student in the Radio Systems group at EEMCS. My current research focuses on the design of harmonic tags and radar systems, particularly for tracking invertebrates in nature.

I received my joint Master’s degree in Innovative Microwave Electronics and Optics from the University of Limoges (France), the University of Brescia (Italy), and the University of the Basque Country (Spain) in 2022.
