Anja Skrivervik obtained her electrical engineering degree from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in 1986, and her PhD from the same institution in 1992, for which she received the Latsis award. After a stay at the University of Rennes as an invited Research Fellow and two years in the industry, she returned part time to EPFL as an Assistant Professor in 1996, and is now a Professeur Titulaire at this institution, where she is the head of the Microwave and Antenna Group. Her research activities include electrically small antennas, antennas in biological media, periodic structures, reflect- and tranmitarrays, and numerical techniques for electromagnetics. She is author or co-author of more than 200 peer reviewed scientific publications. Her teaching activities include courses on microwaves and antennas, and she has course at Bachelor, Master and PhD levels. She was director of the EE section form 1996-2000, and is currently the director of the EE doctoral school at EPFL. She is very active in European collaboration and European projects. She was the chairperson of the Swiss URSI until 2012, is a Board member of the European School on Antennas and is frequently requested to review research programs and centers in Europe. She is a member of the board of directors of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) since 2017.

Courses

Analog circuits for biochip

EE-518

Introduction to analog CMOS design for Remote Biosensors on Chip. Understanding and designing of active and remotely powered biosensing systems. Basic understanding of the wireless transmission of the obtained signals.

Antennas

EE-446

The students will first learn the fundamental principles governing antennas and get familiar with the main antenna types. In the second part, students will work in groups on an antenna design project. Through this, they will learn to use common simulation tools, and perform antenna measurements

Energy Autonomous Wireless Smart Systems

MICRO-617

The course provides in depth knowledge on how to design an energy autonomous microsystem embedding sensors with wireless transmission of information. It covers the energy generation, power management, and data processing and transmission with an emphasis on low-power and energy efficient operation.

Introduction aux microondes et aux antennes

EE-346

This courses introduces the foundations of passive microwave circuits and of antenna. it covers the notions of distributed circuits and their characterization through the scattering parameters, guided and free space propagation, the fundamental aspects of antennas.

Lab in microwaves

EE-490(e)

This lab teaches the major measurement techniques used in microwaves

Microwaves, the basics of wireless communications

EE-445

This course is an introduction to microwaves and microwave passive circuits. A special attention is given to the introduction of the notion of distributed circuits and to the scattering matrix
