معرفی
Rashaunda Henderson is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), affiliated with the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science since 2007. She earned a Ph.D. in Electromagnetics from the University of Michigan (1999), an M.S. in Electrical Engineering (1994), and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Tuskegee University (1992). Her research focuses on microwave and millimeter-wave technologies, including passive circuit design, metamaterials, and MEMS characterization.
Key research interests include enabling technologies for passive microwave/millimeter-wave circuits, accurate component modeling, and integrated circuit design on silicon substrates. Her work spans applications in antenna design, packaging solutions for high-frequency systems, and electromagnetic bandgap structures. Notable contributions include metamaterial filter design and defected ground structures for high-Q components.
Her publications highlight advancements in low-cost substrates for mm-wave packaging, broadband antennas in integrated packages, and de-embedding techniques for coplanar waveguides. She received the IEEE Phoenix Section Engineer of the Year Award (2002) and contributed to $1M Defense grants for high-frequency instrumentation through the Texas Analog Center of Excellence (TxACE).
Dr. Henderson has held roles including Research Engineer at Freescale Semiconductor (2004–2007) and Senior Staff Engineer at Motorola (1999–2004). She actively participates in educational initiatives, such as the National Academy of Engineering’s Frontiers of Engineering Education Symposium, focusing on innovative teaching methods like MOOCs and flipped classrooms.
