Biography

Stephanie joined CSIRO in 1999 while completing a PhD in the area of electronically steerable wire and microstrip antennas. She published a book on this topic with her university supervisor in 2002. At CSIRO she has worked on millimeter-wave passive components, such as waveguide filters and microstrip to waveguide transitions, microstrip antennas for millimeter-wave communications systems with electronic beam steering, and millimeter-wave imaging.
The reconfigurable radio project is currently investigating millimeter-wave integrated and reconfigurable antennas.
