Biography

In 2021, Duschia Bodet received her B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Communications, Controls, and Signal Processing. During her undergraduate years, she spent six months co-oping at Raytheon in radar systems, and another six months as a research assistant for the Air Force Research Labs with the Griffiss Institute. For her master’s thesis she investigated new modulation solutions for Terahertz (THz) communications under the guidance of Dr. Josep M. Jornet. Since then, she has continued working on the physical layer design of THz communications, as a Ph.D. student researcher at UN Lab. Her current interests include multiple-input multiple-output communication systems as well as waveform and wavefront engineering for THz communications.
