Dr. Mojgan Daneshmand is a Professor at the University of Alberta with the research focus on Radio Frequency (RF) Microsystems for Communication and Sensing. She received her B.Sc degree from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in 1999, the M.Sc degree from the University of Manitoba in 2001 and Ph.D degree from the University of Waterloo in 2006 all in Electrical Engineering. She has been Canada Research Chair Tier II 2008-2019 on RF sensing and communication for applications in energy systems, wireless and satellite payloads, and biomedical devices. Her group has pioneered works on non-contact microwave sensing and advanced satellite and wireless RF front end systems.
Dr. Daneshmand is 2018 Martha Cook Piper Research Prize recipients at the University of Alberta for outstanding promise as researchers. She also has received 2016 IEEE Antenna and Propagation Society Lot Shafai Distinguished Mid-Career Award for her scientific contribution to the field of microwave communication and sensing technologies and being a role model for women in engineering. Her group has garnered a range of awards, including IEEE AP-S, IEEE IMS and CMC paper awards and recognitions.
Dr. Daneshmand is Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology (J-ERM). She was Associate Editor of IEEE Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering for 2014-2016. She is co-chair of the award winning IEEE Joint APS/MTTS Northern Canada Chapter. Dr. Daneshmand is also member of IEEE IMS conference Technical Program Review Committee (TPRC) and has been organizing members of ANTEM and IEEE AP-S Conference.
