Ronis Maximidis

Ronis T. Maximidis (Student Member, IEEE) was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1984. He received the Diploma degree in electrical and computer engineering and the master’s degree in communication and satellite telecommunication systems from the Democritus University of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece, in 2011 and 2014, respectively. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree with the Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. From 2010 to 2014, he worked on the development of a technique for characteristic mode analysis of the composite metal-dielectric structure and its use for MIMO antenna design. He is also developing design techniques of multibeam antenna arrays with significantly reduced mass volume and cost. The work is performed in the framework of the project Multibeam Antenna with Overlapped Subarrays and is supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Antenna Company, Eindhoven, The Netherlands. His main research interests include antennas, microwave engineering, and computational electromagnetics.
