Dominique Schreurs has been involved with ARFTG since previous millennium. She attended her first ARFTG conference as a PhD student in 1996, and has attended most ARFTG conferences since, resulting in receiving the ARFTG Life Member status in 2013.

She organized the very first workshop at a Fall ARFTG Symposium in 2001 and has been (co-)organiser and speaker in various ARFTG Spring and Fall workshops over the years. She was one of the co-initiators of the NVNA Users’ Forum in 2002 and is still acting as its advisor. Dominique got elected to the ARFTG Executive Committee in 2003 and has assumed various ExCom positions over the years (Workshop Chair, Education Chair, Technical Coordination, Secretary, Nominations, Awards, Website, …), including ARFTG President in 2018-2019.

Dominique is also serving regularly on the ARFTG TPC as a reviewer, and was the co-TPC chair of 2002 Fall ARFTG conference, 2016 Spring ARFTG conference, and will be TPC chair for the 2023 Winter ARFTG conference. She was General Chair of the Spring ARFTG conferences in 2007, 2012, and 2018. She also served as instructor at the ARFTG Short Course numerous times.

In daily life, Dominique is a full professor at KU Leuven in Belgium. Belgium is the birthplace of the early NVNA prototypes (called LSNA at the time), and therefore it is natural that her research embarked on nonlinear microwave measurements. In recent years, her students have been working on topics such as experiment design, measurement uncertainty, measurement-based modelling of active devices and circuits, dielectric spectroscopy measurements, …, to name a few.

Her research is documented in about 750 publications (books, journal papers, and conference contributions), among which a substantial number were presented at ARFTG conferences. When Dominique was a post-doc, she performed scientific stays at Agilent Technologies (now Keysight Technologies) in Santa Rosa, CA, and NIST in Boulder, CO. As a professor, she has been sending her PhD students to these places.
