Giovanni Crupi is an assistant professor at the University of Messina, Italy, where he teaches microwave electronics and optoelectronics. Since 2005, he has been a visiting scientist with KU Leuven and IMEC, Leuven, Belgium. Giovanni's main research interests include small and large signal modeling of advanced microwave devices. He is the chair of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Fellowship program and serves as an associate editor of International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields. Dominique Schreurs is a full professor at KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. Previously, she has been a visiting scientist at Agilent Technologies (USA), Eidgen ssische Technische Hochschule Z rich (Switzerland), and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (USA). Dominique's main research interests concern linear and nonlinear characterization and modeling of microwave devices and circuits, as well as linear and nonlinear hybrid and integrated circuit design for telecommunications and biomedical applications. She is the technical chair of ARFTG and serves as the editor of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques.
