Eva Rajo Iglesias (born 1972) is a Spanish electrical engineer whose research involves the use of metamaterials, metasurfaces, and periodic surface structures, as waveguides and antennas for microwave and millimeter-wave radio signals. She is a professor in the Department of Signal Theory and Communications of Charles III University of Madrid.

Education and career Rajo is originally from Monforte de Lemos, where she was born in 1972. She became a student of telecommunication engineering at the University of Vigo, where she received a master's degree in 1996. Continuing her education at Charles III University of Madrid, she completed her Ph.D. in 2002.

She worked as a teaching assistant at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena in 2001, and a visiting lecturer at Charles III University beginning in 2002.
