Biography

Spyridon Pavlidis received the M.Eng degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Imperial College London, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Prior to joining the faculty in the Department of Electrical and Computer North Carolina State in 2018, he was a post-doctoral researcher in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Pavlidis’s research interests lie at the intersection of electronic materials, devices, packaging and circuits. A core application of this research has been high-frequency, high-power amplifiers using novel III-Nitride devices, and has also extended to large signal device characterization, PA design, thermal/reliability analysis, and 3-D integration of heterogeneous materials/devices. In addition to III-Nitrides, Dr. Pavlidis has contributed to the development of metal oxide and 2D material-based thin film transistors for flexible electronics and sensing.

Dr. Pavlidis is the recipient of 2022 NSF CAREER award, 2015 EuMC Young Engineer Prize, 2014-2016 ORISE/AFRL Fellowship, 2013 National Science Foundation East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI) Fellowship, the 2010 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award from the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the 2010 Nick Battersby Prize for ‘Excellence in Analogue Electronics’ from Imperial College London. He is an active member of the IEEE, where he serves on MTT-S TC-9 Microwave and Millimeter Wave Solid State Devices, and is Topical Editor for IEEE Journal of Microwaves.
