  • 1994 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For contributions to the theory of disordered systems including mobility edges and localization of classical waves

Overview

Eleftherios N. Economou is affiliated with the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas in Greece. Their research spans several interdisciplinary fields including engineering, physics and astronomy, and materials science. Within these broader areas, Economou has focused on subfields such as atomic and molecular physics and optics, electronic, optical and magnetic materials, electrical and electronic engineering, aerospace engineering, and statistical and nonlinear physics.

The main topics in Economou's body of work include metamaterials and metasurfaces applications, quantum mechanics and non-Hermitian physics, advanced antenna and metasurface technologies, plasmonic and surface plasmon research, quantum chaos and dynamical systems, nonlinear photonic systems, and thermal radiation and cooling technologies.

Economou has published extensively in a variety of scientific journals and venues. Frequent venues include Physical Review B, with nine publications, as well as arXiv (Cornell University) with nine, Scientific Reports and ACS Photonics both with four publications, and Advanced Optical Materials with three papers.

Selected recent papers demonstrate the range and focus of Economou's research contributions:

  • Toward Intelligent Metasurfaces: The Progress from Globally Tunable Metasurfaces to Software-Defined Metasurfaces with an Embedded Network of Controllers, 2020, Advanced Optical Materials
  • Non-Hermitian disorder in two-dimensional optical lattices, 2020, Physical Review B
  • Passive radiative cooling and other photonic approaches for the temperature control of photovoltaics: a comparative study for crystalline silicon-based architectures, 2020, Optics Express
  • Combined nano and micro structuring for enhanced radiative cooling and efficiency of photovoltaic cells, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Transport and spectral features in non-Hermitian open systems, 2021, Physical Review Research

Frequent collaborators reflect a network of ongoing research partnerships. Key coauthors include Maria Kafesaki, Anna C. Tasolamprou, Costas M. Soukoulis, George Kenanakis, and Odysseas Tsilipakos.

Economou received the distinction of Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1994. The citation for this fellowship referenced contributions to the theory of disordered systems, including mobility edges and localization of classical waves.
