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. Currently he is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto.

Dr. Eleftheriades has authored or co-authored more than 70 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, his graduate students won Best Student Paper Awards in the 2000 "Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics" symposium, in a 2000 CITO Knowledge Network, the 2002 IEEE Intl. Microwave Symposium and the 2002 IEEE Intl. Symposium on Antennas and Propagation. Dr. Eleftheriades received the Gordon Slemon (teaching of design) Award from the University of Toronto and the Ontario Premier's Research Excellence Award both in 2001.

Presently he is leading a Group of about twelve graduate students in the areas of electromagnetic negative refractive index metamaterials, IC antennas and components for broadband wireless communications, novel beam-steering techniques, low-loss silison micromachined components, sub-mm-wave radiometric receivers, and electromagnetic design for high-speed digital circuits. Dr. Eleftheriades is the Wireless Thrust Leader of the Nortel Institute for Telecommunications.
