Dimitrios Sounas is an Assistant Professor at the ECE Department at Wayne State University. He has received his Ph.D. and bachelor’s degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2009 and 2004, respectively. Between 2010-2018 he has worked as a postdoctoral fellow and a research scientist at Polytechnique Montreal, the University of Texas at Austin, and the AMOLF institute.

He has made major contributions in magnetless nonreciprocal components with applications in full-duplex wireless communication systems. He has contributed to the founding of Silicon Audio RF Circulator, Austin, TX, USA, specializing in the design of angular-momentum circulators for RF and acoustical systems. He has authored or co-authored 99 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including Science, Nature, Nature Photonics, Nature Physics, Nature Communications, Optica, and Physical Review Letters. He has more than 150 conference abstracts, 6 patents, 2 of which granted, and more than 7,800 citations. He has been involved in several major programs from different funding agencies (NSF, DARPA, AFOSR and ONR), including EFRI NewLAW program from NSF and the STAR program from DARPA.  His current research interests include time-modulated, nonreciprocal, and topological metamaterials for applications in communication, biomedical and sensing systems.

Dimitrios Sounas is a Senior Member of IEEE. He has chaired and organized various sessions in international symposia. He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and has been a regular reviewer for more than 20 engineering and physics journals.
