Regular biography
George V. Eleftheriades is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on electromagnetic and optical metasurfaces, antennas, and components for broadband wireless communications. He is recognized as an international authority in metamaterials and metasurfaces, which are man-made materials with unique electromagnetic properties. Eleftheriades introduced a method for synthesizing metamaterials using loaded transmission lines and provided the first experimental evidence of imaging beyond the diffraction limit. His work has impacted fields such as wireless communications, defence, and medical imaging. He holds the Velma M. Rogers Graham Chair in Nano- and Micro-Structured Electromagnetic Materials and has led research on novel antenna beam-steering techniques and far-field super-resolution imaging. He is also an Associate Editor and Track Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION.
