Alexandros Feresidis is a Senior Lecturer in Wireless Communications within the department. He leads research on electromagnetic metamaterial structures and their applications on antennas, microwave, mm-wave and THz circuits. He is an expert on the analysis and design of artificial periodic metamaterials, electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structures and frequency selective surfaces (FSS), high-gain and base station antennas, leaky wave antennas, small/compact antennas, computational electromagnetics, microwave/mm-wave/THz circuits and medical imaging systems.
He has authored three book chapters on artificial electromagnetic surfaces and has published over 100 papers in peer reviewed international journals and conference proceedings. He has also presented a number of invited papers and seminars in international conferences and European PhD schools, He has been a member of organising and technical committees and chaired sessions in international conferences. He is a regular reviewer for several IEEE, IET and IoP journals and the UK EPSRC. His research has been funded primarily by EPSRC, MRC and Ofcom.
Alexandros Feresidis received the Physics degree from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1997, and the MSc(Eng) in Radio Communications and High Frequency Engineering from the University of Leeds, UK, in 1998. In 2002, he obtained the Ph.D. in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from Loughborough University, UK, for his work on high-gain planar antennas using passive periodic surfaces.
In 2002, he was a research associate and in the same year he was appointed Lecturer in Wireless Communications in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Loughborough University. In 2006, he was promoted to Senior Lecturer in the same department. In 2011, he joined the School of Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Birmingham. He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers, USA.
