Enrique A. Navarro-Camba has a degree in Physics (1988) and a PhD in Physics from the Universitat de València (1992), his Thesis supervisor was Vicente Such Belenguer, Professor of Applied Physics. 

From August 1988 to January 1989 he worked at Grupo de Mecánica del Vuelo S.A. (GMV S.A., Madrid).  He joined the University of Valencia in 1989, where he worked in R&D projects of the University in cooperation with Radiación & Microondas S.A. (RYMSA). He received scholarships from the Valencian Government and the Ministry of Education and Science of Spain. He was assistant professor in 1991, contracted professor in 1994, associated professor in 1997, and full professor in 2010.

He worked at the Communications Research Laboratory of McMaster University (ON, Canada) in 1994 and 1995, where he improved the non-orthogonal-FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) technique. He worked on the analysis of passive devices for beamforming networks (Spar-Aerospace, Quebec) and planar antennas (RIM-Blackberry, Waterloo).

At the University of Valencia he has been teaching subjects related to electromagnetism, electromagnetic waves, microwaves, antennas and advanced communications. He has taught in undergraduate, doctoral, graduate and master courses of Physics, Chemistry and School of Engineering (ETSE). He has served on several committees at the University of Valencia, and his teaching has contributed mainly to the Telecommunications degrees of the University of Valencia, the Master of Telecommunications Engineering, and the Master of Advanced Sciences of Modern Telecommunications, University of Valencia- University Pompeu Fabra,

In 1993 he joined the Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory & Techniques, and later on all the IEEE and IEE (now IET) journals on antennas, microwaves and propagation. Over the years he served on the Editorial Board of the world's most prestigious journals in Electromagnetism, Microwaves, Antennas, Communications and Geoelectromagnetism: IEEE Microwave and Guided Wave Letters, IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, IGARS, PIERS, Electronics Letters, IEE Proceedings on Microwave Antennas and Propagation (IET-MAP), Optics Express, ETRI Journal, International Journal of Electronics, Bioelectromagnetics, Scientific Reports... Reviews projects from NASA and the United States Department of Energy (DOE).

He worked in more than 30 competitive research projects of Spanish Government, Andalucia Government, and Valencian Goverment, in cooperation with the research team of Professor Juan A. Morente of the University of Granada and the Austrian Space Agency.

At the University of Valencia, he is in charge of the antenna measurement system, Anechoic Chamber, a large installation covering 5m x 5m x 8m, with near-field measurement and near-to-far-field transformation. He also maintains the WWLLN-Valencia (World Wide Lightning Location Network) measurement station that records electrical activity of atmospheric origin at a planetary level, covering the western Mediterranean, in collaboration with Prof. Robert Holzworth of the University of Washington.

Dr. Navarro's research interests focus on all aspects of electromagnetism, computational electromagnetism, electromagnetic waves, antennas, wave propagation and their measurements.
