Valeria Palazzari received the Laurea Degree in Electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Information and Electronic Engineering from the University of Perugia, Italy, in 2000 and 2003 respectively, under the advice of Prof. Luca Roselli.

In 2000 she joined the HFE (High Frequency Electronics) research group at the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (DIEI) at the same university working as young research assistant. In summer 2003 she joined the Georgia Institute of Technology (GA) ATHENA research group within a Summer International Fellowship program sponsored by PRC under the advice of Prof. Manos M. Tentzeris. Her work was mainly focused on the design, realization and test of WLAN asymmetrical dual-band filters implemented on LCP and LTCC.

She is currently working as a post-doc assistant at DIEI, and teaching Telecommunication Electronics within the Information and Telecommunication Engineering course of the Univ. of Perugia in Orvieto (TR), Italy. She is also a R&D engineer at WiS S.r.l. (PG), Italy. Her research goes from the modelling, design and realization of microwave integrated circuits in Si/SiGe BiCMOS technology, to packaging technologies for RF/wireless systems. In 2008 she was leader of the "MIOS-scientifical requirements definition" work package within the ADAHELI project, a small space mission founded by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and devoted to the observation of the Sun.
