G. P. Latsas

George Latsas was born in Athens, Greece, in 1975. He received the B.S. degree in Physics in 1998, the M.S. degree in radioelectrology and electronics in 2001, and the Ph.D. degree in 2006, all from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), Greece. Since 2006 he is a Research Associate at the Microwave and Optics Applications Group of NKUA and since 2007 a Laboratory Applications employee at the Faculty of Physics, NKUA. From 2006 to 2011 he has served as a visiting lecturer at the Military Academy of Greece.

His research interests include microwave theory and applications, focused on high-power microwave generation.
