Personal Profile:

Professor J. (Yiannis) C. Vardaxoglou (F’12) completed his B.Sc. in Mathematical Physics (1982) and his Ph.D. in Electronics (1987) at the University of Kent, UK. He joined Loughborough University as a lecturer in 1988 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1992 and Professor of Wireless Communications in 1998. He served as the Dean of the School of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering at Loughborough University from 2006-2012. Since 2021 he has been an Emeritus professor at Loughborough University and was is a visiting Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Terahertz and Millimeter Waves, Electrical Engineering Department, City University, Hong Kong. In 2025 he was appointed academic Dean and Professor in the School of Microelectronics at South China University of Technology.

He established the 34 year old Wireless Communications Research (WiCR) group at Loughborough University and founded the Centre for Mobile Communications Research (CMCR). He was the director of Symeta research centre funded by an EPSRC Grand Challenge award, researching in a wide-ranging topics applicable to cutting-edge wireless communications technology. His current research focuses primarily on metamaterial structures, additive manufacturing (3D printing) for RF/micro/mm wave engineering. Symeta collaborates with many internationally leading companies and universities. He was the principal investigator of a prestigious EPSRC’s Grand Challenge £5M award: Synthesizing 3D Metamaterials for RF, Microwave and THz Applications,(symeta.co.uk).

He has served as a consultant to various industries, holds six patents and is the Technical Director of Antrum Ltd. He has attracted research funding from industry and has been awarded 18 EPSRC research grants. He has published over 500 refereed journals and conference proceeding papers (with over 12000 citations) and has written a book on FSS. He was Chairman of the Executive Committee of the IET’s Antennas and Propagation Professional Network in the UK and chaired the IEEE’s distinguish lecturer program of the Antennas and Propagation Society (APS) for five years. He founded the Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference (LAPC), which has run over a decade. He has chaired numerous IEE//IET events and has served on the Steering Committee of the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation, EuCAP. He was the General Chair of EuCAP ‘07.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng)
