Kristof Vaesen
Kristof Vaesen completed his degree as an industrial engineer in 1996 and in 1998 was awarded an MSc in electrical engineering, both from KU Leuven. In 1998, he began working at imec in the high-density interconnect and systems packaging group, where he worked mainly on the single packaging integration of RF front-ends, focusing on the design of RF building blocks for thin-film RF MCM-D technology. In 2012, he joined imec’s millimeter wave design group. Since then, his research has focused mainly on the design and modeling of millimeter wave passive components and the implementation of CMOS millimeter wave circuit blocks.
