Nuria González Prelcic received her Ph.D. with Honors in 2000 from the University of Vigo, Spain. She is a Professor at the ECE Department of the University of California San Diego since January 2024. She previously held faculty positions at the ECE Department of NC State University, USA (2020-2023) and at the Signal Theory and Communications Department at the University of Vigo, Spain (2000-2020). She also held visiting positions at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of New Mexico. She was also the founding director of the Atlantic Research Center for Information and Communication Technologies (atlanTTic) at the University of Vigo (2008-2017). Her main research interests include signal processing and machine learning for wireless communications, with a focus on MIMO processing for mmWave communication, joint sensing and communication, sensor-aided communication, signal processing under hardware impairments, vehicular communication, and multiantenna technology for LEO satellite communication. She has published more than 150 papers in these areas, including a highly cited tutorial on signal processing for mmWave MIMO published in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing which has received the 2020 IEEE SPS Donald G. Fink Overview Paper Award, and a paper pioneering the idea of enabling automotive radar with a WiFi waveform that won the 2022 IEEE Vehicular Technology Society Best Vehicular Electronics Paper Award. She has been an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications and IEEE Transactions Communications. She is a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society TWG on Integrated Sensing and Communication, SPCOM Technical Committee and IEEE SPS Education Board.
