Dr. Michel A. Kornegay (Reece) is currently an Associate Professor and a senior faculty researcher for the Center of Reverse Engineering and Assured Microelectronics (CREAM) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Morgan State University. In this center, she pursues research in the areas of wireless signal characterization and device authentication of IoT devices. She is also the director of the laboratory for Advanced RF/Microwave Measurement and Electronic Design (ARMMED) in which her team of student researchers does high-frequency device characterization and modeling for III-V semiconductors, MMIC circuit design, highly efficient solid-state power amplifier networks, adaptable electronic components for software defined radio applications and most recently power amplifier development for sub-THz mobile communication applications. She became the first female recipient at Morgan State to obtain her doctorate degree in engineering in 2003. She received her B.S.E.E from Morgan State in 1995 and her M.S from Penn State in 1997, both in electrical engineering. She has worked at companies such as Northrop Grumman, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, and Boeing (formerly known as Hughes Aircraft Company). She has a passion for education where she has taught as an adjunct faculty member at Johns Hopkins University and participated as a volunteer tutor to middle and high school students within her local community.
