Marianna Ivashina

Marianna Ivashina is a Professor and Head of the Antenna Systems Research Group at Chalmers University of Technology's Department of Electrical Engineering. Her work focuses on array antennas, antenna integration with electronics, optimal beamforming, and over-the-air measurement methods. The group has achieved international recognition for innovations in ultra-wideband (UWB) feeds, Gap waveguide antennas, and Doherty-power-amplifier-integrated antennas for 5G/6G and radio telescope applications. Key projects include the SSF Sweden-Taiwan collaboration, EU Horizon 2020 MyWave, and VINNOVA ENERGETIC initiatives.

Her recent publications emphasize millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), with applications in 5G/6G networks, satellite communication (SatCom), and advanced antenna testing chambers. She explores beamforming optimization, self-interference mitigation, and hybrid OTA environments to enhance wireless system performance. The group's work bridges theoretical advancements with practical implementations, including RFSoC testbeds and high-efficiency antenna arrays.

Marianna leads major research programs funded by Ericsson, VINNOVA, and EUREKA EURIPIDES2, addressing challenges in beamforming, antenna-IC integration, and automated design for 5G/6G. These projects highlight her role in advancing millimeter-wave communication and sensor integration technologies.
