Theodoros D. Tsiboukis received the Diploma degree in electrical and mechanical engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece, in 1971, and the Doctor Eng. Degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1981. From 1981 to 1982, he was with the Electrical Engineering Department, University of Southampton, Southampton, U.K., as a Senior Research Fellow. Since 1982, he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DECE), AUTH, where he is currently a Professor. He has served in numerous administrative positions, including Director of the Division of Telecommunications, DECE (1993-1997) and Chairman, DECE (1997-2001). He is also the Head of the Advanced and Computational Electromagnetics Laboratory, DECE. He was the chairman of the local organizing committee of the 8th International Symposium on Theoretical Electrical Engineering (1995). He has authored or coauthored 8 books and over 270 refereed journal and conference papers. He was the Guest Editor of a special issue of the International Journal of Theoretical Electrotechnics (1996). His main research interests include electromagnetic-field analysis by energy methods, computational electromagnetics (FEM, vector finite elements, MoM, FDTD method, integral equations, absorbing boundary conditions), metamaterials, and EMC problems. Prof. Tsiboukis is a member of various societies, associations, chambers and institutions, and has been the recipient of several awards and distinctions.
