Biography
Damla Dimlioglu received the B.S. degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering with a minor in Solid-State Physics from Middle East Technical University, Turkey, in 2012 and the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Semiconductor Devices and Physics from the University of California, Davis, CA, in 2015. Her M.S. research focused on novel high-speed and low-power SAR ADC architectures based on time-to-digital conversion. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D. degree at Cornell University, NY, focusing on Out-of-Band Interference-Tolerant mmWave Receivers on CMOS, 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 directly to the Head of NIST, who oversees the CHIPS Act under the US Secretary of Commerce. Before joining Cornell in 2020, she was an R&D mmWave IC design intern at Next Generation Radio Integration Lab at Intel Labs, OR, working on Nonlinear Distortions in mmWave Phased Array Transceivers. She worked on tunable PLLs at Analog Devices, CA (2015), high-speed optical modulator drivers at Bell Laboratories, NJ (2016), and the bandwidth extension techniques for the broadband amplifiers at Intel Labs, OR (2017).
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 and IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (T-MTT). Starting in 2025, she also serves as an editor in IEEE Microwave Magazine.
She has been a member of the 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 also served on the 2023 IEEE IMS Early Career Paper Competition Review Committee. Since 2025, she has served on the technical review committees of the European Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC), European Microwave Circuits (EuMC), and IEEE Space, Aerospace and Defense (IEEE SPACE) conferences.
Damla has been selected as one of 24 researchers recognized as the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society Rising Stars 2024.
