Iannis Aliferis was born in Athens (GR) in November 1973. He holds a Diploma in Physics ('91-'95), an MSc in Electronics and Radioelectricity ('95-'97, with distinction) – both from the University of Athens – a DEA (MSc) in Propagation, Telecommunications and Remote Sensing ('97-'98, with distinction) – from the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (UNS) – and a PhD degree ('98-'02) jointly prepared at the UNS and the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering). He held a greek state scholarship (IKY) during his PhD years, obtained after a national-wide written contest. During the academic year '02-'03 he was a post-doc student (ATER) at the UNS.
Since September 2003, Iannis Aliferis is an Assistant Professor ("Maître de Conférences") at the UNS, a position he chose among three obtained during the summer of the same year (the other two were at "ENSEEIHT / INP de Toulouse" and "INSA de Lyon"). Ηe teaches (or has teached) electromagnetics, electronics, telecommunications and random phenomena at Polytech' Nice Sophia, and works as a researcher at the Laboratory of Electronics, Antennas and Telecommunications (LEAT, a CNRS joint research unit). His research interests include electromagnetic direct and inverse scattering, microwave imaging, time reversal techniques, and computational electromagnetics.
