Bio

Yolanda Rodríguez Vaqueiro obtained B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from University of Vigo (Spain) in December 2009, where she was also granted as Junior Researcher. In 2011 she obtained a Research Assistant grant from the ALERT (Awareness and Localization of Explosive Related Threats) Center of Excellence at Northeastern University (Boston, MA, USA). In May 2015 she completed her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University, after defending her thesis: “Compressive Sensing for Electromagnetic Imaging Using a Nesterov-Based Algorithm”. Her work during the Ph.D. studies was recognized with the “Research-Impact Award” by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of Northeastern University. Since 2015 she is a postdoctoral researcher affiliated with the COM group at University of Vigo.
