Jessica Benedicto obtained a PhD in physics from the University of Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France, in 2013. During her PhD, she investigated the potential of metallo-dielectric multilayers, flat lenses with subwavelength resolution, and nonlocality in metals. In 2013, she held a post-doctoral position at the Fresnel Institute, Marseille, France. The fields of application of her postdoctoral research were hybrid magnetic-electric dielectric scatterer near-field and far-field analyses. In 2015, she became an Assistant Professor at Lab-STICC, Brest, France. Her research interests are focused on the modeling and design of passive devices for microwave applications. Her research oriented on the approach and optimization of microwave breakdown phenomena (multipactor), and the multiphysics modeling of RF materials and devices
