Metamaterial based ultra-thin filters and absorbers in printed circuit boards

Tuesday, May 13, 2025
Prof. Christos Antonopoulos, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece

After a brief introduction to metamaterials and definitions of some terms, various techniques and designs will be presented, in order to use them as filters and absorbers in printed circuit boards to avoid interference between circuit elements. The need of developing some more sophisticated optimization techniques and sometimes the obligation of a researcher to develop his own software tools or correct existing ones will also be shown.

Speaker's Biography: Christos Antonopoulos received the Diploma and the Dr. Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1981 and in 1990 respectively. His doctoral thesis deals with electromagnetic field calculations in stratified media using the T-Ω method and a boundary element technique. He is currently Professor with the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His duties include teaching courses in Electromagnetic Field Theory, Wave Propagation Geo-Electromagnetism and Acoustics. Prof. Antonopoulos served the Aristotle University from various positions. He was member of the Senator of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in different periods, for about 4 years, Head of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering for 1 Year, Vice Head of the same school, Director of Telecommunications Department for 3 years and Director of the Telecommunications Laboratory for about 5 years. Besides, he was a member of Advisory board of the Hellenic Institute of Acoustics (2010-2012). Ηe is a member of the international steering committees of the Conference on Electromagnetic Field Computation (CEFC) and of the International Conference on Electromagnetics and Mechanics (ISEM). Among other activities, he was a member of the advisory board of the Musical Ensemble of the Engineering School and the Symphonic Orchestra of the Aristotle University.
