Kathleen Muhonen
Kathleen Muhonen is currently an ESD engineer at Qorvo in Greensboro, NC. She is involved in ESD on-chip protection for RF and Millimeter wave applications. She is heavily involved in system level testing that helps standardize IED testing of RF components and instrumentation for better ESD characterization of clamps and materials. Previously she was responsible for RF characterization and model support for SOI switches and Gallium Arsenide power amplifiers. She has also done extensive work on developing state of the art harmonic and breakdown characterization system for semiconductors and has improved de-embedding techniques of large-scale modeling structures. Kathleen's previous experience includes assistant professor at Penn State Erie, linearization design for base stations at Hewlett Packard, and power amplifier design at Lockheed Martin and GE Aerospace.
Kathleen is a member of the ESD association and is on all device testing standards committees, including serving as past TLP and HMM workgroup chairs. She has also served on the Board of Directors and is now serving as the education committee chair. Kathleen received her BSEE degree from Michigan Technological University in 91, a MSEE from Syracuse in 94 and a PH.D.EE from Penn State University in 1999.
