Jordi Mateu received the Telecommunication Engineering and Ph.D. degrees from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, Spain, in 1999 and 2003, respectively. Since 2007, he has been with the Department of Signal Theory and Communications, UPC, where he is Full Professor.
Prior to that, in summer 1999, he held a trainee engineer position at Investment Technology department, Gillette, UK. In 2000, he joined TSC department to pursuit PhD studies. From May to August 2001, he was Visiting Researcher with Superconductor Technologies Inc., Santa Barbara CA, USA. In October 2002, he joined Telecommunication Technological Center of Catalonia (CTTC) as Research Associate and later as Coordinator of Communication Subsystems Area, until August 2005. During that period, he was also Adjunt professor at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. In September 2005, he joined the Electromagnetic Division NIST, Boulder, CO, as Fulbright Research Fellow until December 2006. During July 2016 to June 2017, he was (on Sabbatical from UPC) International Associate Guest Researcher at NIST, inside the Communication Technology Laboratory, at Boulder, CO. Additionally, he has held several short-term (<3 month) Research Appointments at NIST (2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2015), accumulating over three years of experience at NIST. In July 2006, he was visiting Researcher at Lincoln Lab., MIT. In 2007 he return to UPC as a Ramon y Cajal Fellow.
His research interest includes microwave devices and systems and characterization and modeling of new electronic materials. For the past 12 years his research has been focused on electroacoustic technology with a very tight collaboration with industry, with special emphasis on the development of synthesis and design techniques for electroacoustic filters.
