Dimitrios Zografopoulos was born in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1980. He received the Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Doctorate degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2003 and 2009, respectively. In 2010, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Research Committee of the AUTH and in 2011 a Post-doctoral Research Fellow of the Greek States Scholarship Foundation and a Visiting Research Fellow at the Department of Electronics Technology, Carlos III University of Madrid. He subsequently moved under a two-year Intra-European Marie-Curie Fellowship to the Institute for Microelectronics and Microsystems of the Italian National Research Council of Italy, Rome, where he has been an appointed Researcher and Senior Researcher in 2011 and 2023, respectively. His current research interests include the investigation of strongly resonant metasurfaces, tunable metamaterials, components for THz wave manipulation, and the interaction between electromagnetic waves and liquid crystals. He is the author or coauthor of 100+ scientific papers in international journals, 85+ presentations in international conferences and 3 book chapters.
