George V. Eleftheriades earned his Ph.D. and M.S.E.E. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1993 and 1989 respectively. He received a diploma (with distinction) in Electrical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in 1988. In the period 1994-1997 he was with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, where he was engaged in the design of millimeter and submillimeter-wave receivers and in the creation of MICROSHIC, a fast CAD tool for planar packaged microwave circuits. In 1997 he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto as Assistant Professor.

Dr. Eleftheriades has authored or co-authored more than 60 articles in refereed journals and conference proceedings. He was a co-recipient of the Best Paper Award at the 6th International Symposium on Antennas (JINA), France 1990, a recipient of a Student Paper Award in the 1992 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium and he also received the Distinguished Achievement Award from the University of Michigan in 1991. More recently, one of his students won the Best Paper Award in the student competition of the 2000 "Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics" symposium. Dr. Eleftheriades received the Gordon R. Slemon Award from the University of Toronto and the Ontario Premier's Research Excellence Award, both in 2001.

Currently he is leading a Group of about twelve graduate students in the areas of mm-wave IC antennas and components for broadband wireless communications, low-loss micromachined components for Ka-band satellite communications and LMDS, wave electronics, sub-mm-wave radiometric receivers, electromagnetic design for high-speed digital circuits, and novel electromagnetic metamaterials. Dr. Eleftheriades is the Wireless Thrust Leader of the Nortel Institute for Telecommunications.
