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. |
