Please visit my updated personal homepage, http://www.timaras.com .

I completed my undergraduate degree in 2003 at the electrical and computer engineering department in the National and Technical University of Athens, Greece, and my Ph.D. degree in 2008 at the electrical engineering department of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. My doctoral research work focused on using multiple electron bunches as a tool for the development of next-generation particle accelerators based on plasma wakefields. I was involved in experimentally demonstrating for the first time the acceleration of a trailing electron bunch in a high-gradient wakefield driven by a preceding bunch, through using bunches short enough to sample a small phase of the plasma wakes. Additionally, I analyzed schemes that utilize multiple bunches to drive the wakefields,  showing that the energy of a trailing bunch can be efficiently multiplied in a single stage, thus possibly reducing the total length of an accelerator to a more manageable scale. I am presently a post-doctoral researcher in the Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom, working on metamaterial-based electromagnetic cloaks.
