 Prof. Mona M. Hella received the B.Sc., and Masters degrees with Honors from Ain-Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, in 1993, and 1996, and the Ph.D. degree, in 2001, from The Ohio-State University, Columbus, Ohio, all in Electrical Engineering.

From 1993 to 1997, she was a teaching and research assistant at Ain Shams University. From 1997-2001 she was a research assistant at the Ohio-state University, working on RF circuits for wireless applications. She was with the Helsinki university of Technology (HUT), Espoo, Finland as a visiting scholar in 1998, and with the analog group at Intel cooperation, Chandler, AZ in Summer 1999. She was a senior designer at Spirea AB, Stockholm, Sweden working on CMOS power amplifiers (2000-2001). From 2001 to 2003, she was a senior designer at RFMD Inc, Billerica, MA working on Optical communication systems, as well as silicon-based wireless systems. She joined the Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute as an Assistant Professor in 2004. Her research interests include the areas of analog, mixed-signal, and RF for wireless, wire-line, and future bio- applications.
