Damla Dimlioglu

Damla Dimlioglu received the B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with an emphasis in solid-state physics from Middle East Technical University, Turkey, in 2012, and the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in semiconductor devices and physics from the University of California, Davis, CA, in 2015, where her research focused on a novel high-speed and low-power SAR ADC architecture based on time-to-digital conversion. She joined Cornell University, NY, in 2020, as an Irwin and Joan Jacobs Fellow and SRC Research Scholar for her doctoral research, developing out-of-band interference-tolerant mmWave receiver front ends in scaled CMOS, SOI, SiGe, and GaN technologies for high-data-rate wireless communications and sensing. In 2023, she demonstrated the first GaN N-path passive mixer ever reported to date in a mixer-first downconverter prototype and presented it to the Director of NIST, who led the CHIPS for America R&D initiatives for the CHIPS and Science Act as the Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology. In 2024, she worked on ASK and OOK modulators for mmWave wireless transceivers in FDSOI at GlobalFoundries, TX. From 2017 to 2019, she was with NCIC Labs at UC Irvine, where she contributed to the development of a high-data-rate, bits-to-RF D-band transmitter. She worked on tunable PLLs at Analog Devices, CA (2015), high-speed optical modulator drivers at Bell Laboratories, NJ (2016), bandwidth extension techniques for broadband amplifiers at Intel Labs, OR (2017), and nonlinear distortions in mmWave power amplifiers and phased-array transmitters in FinFET at the Next Generation Radio Integration Lab at Intel Labs, OR (2019).

Damla is a reviewer for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits (JSSC), IEEE Solid-State Circuits Letters (SSC-L), IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-I (TCAS-I), IEEE Journal of Microwaves (JMW), IEEE Microwave Magazine, IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters (MWTL), and IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (T-MTT). She has been an editor for the IEEE Microwave Magazine since 2025. She is a Topic Editor on the Editorial Board of the IEEE Journal of Microwaves (JMW) for the technical tracks Microwave and mmWave Integrated Circuits, and RF/Mixed-Signal Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing.

She has been a member of the IEEE MTT-S TC-14 Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Integrated Circuits Committee and the IEEE International Microwave Symposium Technical Program Review Committee (IMS TPRC) since 2021. She served on the 2023 IEEE IMS Early Career Paper Competition Review Committee. Since 2025, she has served on the technical review committees of the IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (IEEE BCICTS), European Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC), European Microwave Conference (EuMC), German Microwave Conference (GeMiC), IEEE Space, Aerospace and Defense (IEEE SPACE), and IEEE Microwaves, Antennas, and Propagation (IEEE MAPCON) conferences. She served as the TPC Co-Chair in 2026 and currently serves as the TPC Chair for the IEEE Texas Symposium on Wireless and Microwave Circuits and Systems (IEEE WMCS).

Damla is the recipient of the 2024 IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Rising Stars Award.

She has been named one of the 2026 IEEE MTT-S Outstanding YP Lecturers in the global cohort of 8 newly selected speakers.
