Autorenporträt

John P. Xanthakis obtained his PhD from the Electrical Engineering Department of Imperial College, University of London in 1980. After a period as a post-doctoral fellow at the Mathematics Department of Imperial College he obtained a lectureship at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in 1985. In 1992 - 93 he spent the academic year at Imperial College on sabbatical leave. He was promoted to Professor at NTUA in 1999. He has 50+ papers in peer-reviewed journals and numerous presentations in International Conferences. He is a Senior Member of IEEE, a member of the New York Academy of Sciences and a regular reviewer in many top journals. His main interest is in nanoelectronics, in particular vacuum nanoelectronics.
