In 1998, he joined the BIOEM/EMC Group at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, where his research focused on electromagnetic dosimetry, particularly temperature rise in biological tissues due to electromagnetic energy absorption and the associated heat diffusion phenomena. He subsequently worked at the Hyperthermia Unit of Erasmus Medical Centre in the Netherlands, conducting research on the quality of treatment in superficial microwave hyperthermia for cancer. This work was supported by a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship from the European Commission.

His research interests encompass numerical methods and computational modelling with applications in biomedical engineering and telecommunications, as well as the therapeutic applications and safety assessment of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. He coordinated the Horizon Europe–funded SEAWave project, which investigated potential health effects associated with 5G millimetre-wave exposure.

Professor Samaras has contributed extensively to national and international standardization activities and has served as the national representative in several European research coordination initiatives. He is a member of the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Health, Environmental and Emerging Risks (SCHEER). Since July 2022, he has served as Editor-in-Chief of Bioelectromagnetics. He is also an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Malta.
