NSF grant to support FIU antenna design that will deliver complex data faster
Florida International University Professor Stavros Georgakopoulos, who earned his doctoral degree in electrical engineering at ASU in 2001, is working on designs for advanced antenna technology that will be capable of delivering more complex data in shorter amounts of time. The project has recently received support through a $365,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to FIU’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Georgakopoulo is director of the university’s Transforming Antennas Center and the RF Communications mm-Waves and Terahertz Lab. Under his leadership, FIU has received numerous research grants from the military, government and private sectors.
