Electrical and Computer Engineering

Mauro Ettorre’s research interests are in the broad area of applied electromagnetics, RF circuits and antennas for sensors, radars, Satellite communications and next generation wireless networks. His research activity includes the analysis and design of millimeter and sub-millimeter antennas and antennas, periodic and quasi-periodic structures (frequency selective surfaces, metasurfaces, etc.), quasi-optical systems and beam formers, near-field focusing devices and non-diffractive waves.

Matt worked for 16 years at McCleer Power, Inc. in prototype research and development for electric machines, drives, and control software. His work at McCleer exposed him to all areas of power research, from alternative energy to the automotive industry to aerospace and beyond. He started as a technician, and is presently finishing his PhD in electrical engineering, focusing on machine cooling. His current appointment at MSU is concerned with updating the undergraduate labs, redesigning experiments, and teaching.

Panagiotis Traganitis received his Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in 2013, his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering in 2015 and his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 2019, both from the University of Minnesota (UMN), Twin Cities. Before joining MSU he was a postdoctoral researcher with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
