Brief Biography

Georgios Panagopoulos is an Assistant Professor at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He received his Diploma in Computer and Communication Engineering from the University of Thessaly in 2006, with honors. He then obtained his Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Purdue University, USA, in 2012, where he specialized in variability and reliability modelling of CMOS and SPIN-based devices.

After completing his Ph.D., Dr. Panagopoulos joined Intel Corporation, where he worked from 2012 to 2018 as a design engineer in the area of high-frequency devices, circuits and systems. In 2018, he was promoted to lead the group responsible for device modelling for analog and high-frequency applications. During his time at Intel, he contributed to the design and development of analog and RF components, including phase-locked loops (PLLs), low-dropout regulators (LDOs), bandgap references, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), and RF switches. His work played a key role in various Intel products, such as WiFi, Thunderbolt, Bluetooth, RADAR, and CPU clocking solutions. He has extensive experience with advanced semiconductor technology nodes, having participated in over 20 tape-outs across multiple generations, from 65nm down to 1.8nm.

His research interests include analog, RF, and mmWave circuit design for wireless and wireline communication systems. His expertise includes front-end module systems for wireless mobile communication standards, active and passive device characterization, and variability and reliability modeling for semiconductor devices. He also works on co-design approaches for energy-efficient RF, analog, and mixed-signal circuits, as well as novel spin-based devices for machine learning applications.

Throughout his academic and professional career, he has received multiple prestigious awards, including the Bakalas Scholarship, the State Scholarships Foundation Award, the Technical Chamber of Greece Award, and the Public Power Corporation S.A. Award. At NTUA, he is dedicated to advancing the field of integrated circuit design, mentoring students, and fostering collaborations with industry and research institutions.
