Andreea Balteanu

Hello

I am currently a Phd. Candidate in the Electronics Research Group of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. I received my M.A.Sc in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2010. The title of my thesis was Coaxial Cable Equalization Techniques at 50-110 Gbps. Prior to this, I attended the University of Waterloo and received a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) degree in Electrical Engineering with an option in Management Science in June 2007.

Research

My research focuses on mm-Wave DAC’s. My thesis supervisor is Prof. Sorin P. Voinigescu.
