Manos M. Tentzeris (S’89–M’92–SM’03–F’10) received the Diploma degree (magna cum laude) in electrical and computer engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.

He is currently Ed and Pat Joy Chair Professor with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, where he heads ATHENA Research Group He has served as the Head of the GT ECE Electromagnetics Technical Interest Group, as the Georgia Electronic Design Center Associate Director of RFID/Sensors research, as the Georgia Institute of Technology NSF-Packaging Research Center Associate Director of RF Research, and as the RF Alliance Leader. He has helped develop academic programs in 3-D/inkjet-printed RF electronics and modules, ﬂexible electronics, origami and morphing electromagnetics, highly integrated/multilayer packaging for RF, millimeter-wave, sub-THz and wireless applications using ceramic and organic ﬂexible materials, 5G/6G/sub-THz interconnects, packaging and modules, 4D RF electronics and phased arrays, paper-based RFID’s and sensors, wireless sensors and biosensors, wearable electronics, “Green” and transient electronics, energy harvesting and wireless power transfer, nanotechnology applications in RF, microwave MEMs, and SOP-integrated (UWB, multiband, mmW, and conformal) antennas. He has authored more than 850 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, 7 books, and 26 book chapters. He was a Visiting Professor with the Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany, in 2002, with GTRI-Ireland, Athlone, Ireland, in 2009 and with LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse, France, in 2010 and a Humboldt Guest Professor with FAU, Nuremberg, Germany in 2019.

Dr. Tentzeris was a recipient/co-recipient of many awards, including, the 2022 Georgia Tech Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Advisor Award, the 2021 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium (APS) Best Student Paper Award, the 2019 Humboldt Research Prize, the 2017 Georgia Institute of Technology Outstanding Achievement in Research Program Development Award, the 2016 Bell Labs Award Competition 3rd Prize, the 2015 IET Microwaves, Antennas, and Propagation Premium Award, the 2014 Georgia Institute of Technology ECE Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award.

He is the Vice-Chair of the RF Technical Committee (TC16) of the IEEE CPMT Society. He is the Founder and Chair of the RFID Technical Committee (TC24) of the IEEE MTT-S and the Secretary/Treasurer of the IEEE C-RFID. He has served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES, the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ADVANCED PACKAGING, and the International Journal on Antennas and Propagation. He has given more than 150 invited talks to various universities and companies all over the world. He is a member of the URSI-Commission D and the MTT-15 Committee, an Associate Member of EuMA, a Fellow of the Electromagnetic Academy, and a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece. He is currently one IEEE EPS Distinguished Lecturer and he has served as one of the IEEE MTT-S Distinguished Microwave Lecturers and as one of the IEEE CRFID Distinguished Lecturers.
