Carolina Gouveia received her first degree in Health Equipment Technologies, in 2011, from the Polytechnical Institute of Leiria, Portugal. Thereafter, received her second degree as well as a master degree in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, in 2017, from University of Aveiro, Portugal. Recently, she obtained her PhD in Electrical Engineering in University of Aveiro, Portugal, focused in non-contact vital signs acquisition using radar systems. Currently, she is a Postdoc researcher at Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro (IEETA), University of Aveiro, Portugal. Her research interest is in radar signal processing for biomedical applications. She is currently co-supervising three M. Sc. dissertations and one PhD student. Her research work led to eleven articles in journals and ten conference papers. She received the Prize ANACOM-URSI Portugal in 2021, the EuMA 1st Prize at the Young Scientist Contest in MIKON Conference 2020 and the 2nd Award Fraunhofer Portugal Challenge in 2018. She was involved in the research project TexBoost: less Commodities more Specialities, which aimed to develop a smart seat cover, integrating a bio-radar system. This project led to a patent submission.
