Catherine Dehollain (M'93) received the Master's degree in electrical engineering and the Ph.D. degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, in 1982 and 1995, respectively. From 1982 to 1984, she was a Research Assistant at the Electronics Laboratories (LEG), EPFL. In 1984, she joined the Motorola European Center for Research and Development, Geneva, Switzerland, where she designed integrated circuits applied to telecommunications. In 1990, she joined EPFL as a Senior Assistant at the "Chaire des Circuits et Systemes," where she was involved in impedance broadband matching. Since 1995, she has been responsible for the EPFL-RFIC Group for RF activities. She has been the technical project manager of the European projects, Swiss CTI projects, and the Swiss National Science Foundation projects dedicated to mobile phones, RF wireless micropower sensor networks, and biomedical applications. Since 1998, she has been a Lecturer at EPFL in the area of RF circuits, electric filters, and CMOS analog circuits. From 2006 to 2014, she was a Maitre d'Enseignement et de Recherche (MER) at EPFL. Since 2014, she has been Adjunct Professor at EPFL. She is an author or coauthor of six scientific books and 180 scientific publications. Her research interests include low-power analog circuits, biomedical remotely powered sensors, and electric filters.
