Laure Huitema was born in Limoges, France, in 1984. She received the M.S and Ph.D. degrees in telecommunications high frequencies and optics from Limoges University in 2008 and 2011 respectively. From 2011 to 2012, she was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), Laboratory of Electronics and Information Technology

(LETI), Grenoble, France. She is currently an associate professor in the OSA (Wireless communications and Effect of EM Wave) Department of XLIM Research Institute. Her research interests include active antennas, Dielectric Resonator Antennas and also multiband antennas. As a result of her work, she was the recipient of the best student paper award at the 2010 IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT 2010) and of the best student paper award at the 2010 Journées de Charactérisation Microondes et Matériaux (JCMM 2010).
