Ioannis-Dimitrios Psycharis has been a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Patras, Greece, since 2021. He earned his diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the same institution in 2021. During his diploma thesis, he studied the beneficial effect of additive noise regarding a weak periodic signal in a FET transistor, as well as in a neuromorphic circuit. He studied the phenomenon of stochastic resonance theoretically using Matlab, and designed an analog neuron. He focuses mainly on RF/mm-wave IC design for circuits and subsystems for the front-end section of 5G transceivers. His current areas of interest include mm-wave voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), mm-wave frequency multipliers and dividers, as well as low-noise amplifiers (LNAs).

Vasileios Tsourtis has been a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Patras, Greece, since 2023. He holds a diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Patras (2023). His thesis was focused on the design of a reconfigurable optical receiver analog front-end at over 100GBaud. He is mainly focused on RF/mm-wave IC design for circuits and subsystems for the front-end section of 5G/6G transceivers. His current interests include mm-wave low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) alongside broadband drivers, mixers and power combiners.

Grigorios Kalivas received the Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the University of Patras, Greece, in 1980, and M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada in 1982 and 1990, respectively. Dr. Kalivas is now a Professor at the Applied Electronics Laboratory in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Patras. His research interests focus on the design and development of RF and millimeter-wave frequency circuits and systems for broadband transceivers, with an emphasis on 5G, point-to-point wireless ethernet systems and UWB systems. Dr. Kalivas is the author of the book “Digital Radio System Design”, published by John Wiley in 2009. He has over 100 published articles in international journals and conferences.
