Konstantinos P. Prokopidis received the Diploma/M. Eng. in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Doctorate degree in computational electromagnetics from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Thessaloniki, Greece in 1999 and 2006, respectively. In 2021 he received the Bachelor from the Department of Business Administration, University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki, Greece.
During his postgraduate studies he was granted the HRAKLEITOS national scholarship provided by the General Secretariat of Research and Technology for basic research and a scholarship for post-graduate studies by the Research Committee of the AUTH.
In 2007 he was a post-doctoral fellow of the Research Committee of the AUTH and a member of the teaching staff of the Technological Educational Institute of Serres. In 2008 he was an adjunct lecturer in the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering of the University of Western Macedonia.
From 2009 he is an IT specialist at the Ministry of Justice and Hellenic Cadastre. He has extensive professional experience in System and Database administration and he worked in several positions as a computer engineer. He is also an affiliated researcher of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering where he is conducting research mainly on time-domain simulation of wave propagation in dispersive and anisotropic media.
His current research interests include explicit and implicit FDTD techniques in plasmonics and liquid crystals and Data Science (mainly in Python).
He is a member of Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) and he has served as a regular reviewer for several journals.
Research interests: Computational ElectroMagnetics (CEM), Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, implicit FDTD schemes (ADI,LOD methods), Higher-Order FDTD methods, Perfectly Matched Layers (PML), Dispersive media, Anisotropic media, Liquid Crystals, Modeling of materials, Wave Propagation, Antennas, Microwave Engineering, Plasmonics, Metamaterials, Graphene, Nano-optics and Photonics.
