Biography

I have received the Diploma of Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece (2006), specialized at telecommunications. I hold the M.Sc. degree in Communication Engineering from the Microwaves and Communication Systems group of the University of Manchester, UK (2007). I am currently working towards a PhD degree at the Antennas and Electromagnetics Group of Queen Mary University of London, UK.

My main research interests include computational electromagnetics, numerical and analytical modeling of metamaterials and their applications, antenna design and UWB systems. I have served as a reviewer for Optics Express, the IEEE Transactions on Antenna and Propagation, PIER and numerous conferences.
