Biography

Romina was born in Tehran, Iran in 1993. She received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran, in 2015 and 2017, respectively. She worked on Indoor Positioning Systems as her thesis work. In 2019, she joined the Electronic Components, Technology, and Materials (ECTM) group at TU Delft, where she is now working as a Ph.D. candidate. Her main research topics are the design and fabrication of a fully thermomechanical reliability test chip, power SiP, and optogenetic system engineering.
