- Ph.D. (+MS) Georgia Institute of Technology (2018)
- M.Eng. University of London (2013)
Research Focus
Developing new technology for solving today’s big data, energy, medical, space and quantum engineering challenges. His plan is to develop novel methods which will reveal complex processes that occur on the nanoscale. Examples of his research range from studying how heat is transferred in wireless devices to understanding the failure mechanisms in neuromorphic devices. By doing so, Dr. Pavlidis aims to improve the efficiency and performance of the next generation radio frequency (6G+) and power electronics (electric vehicles). His future research interests include monitoring the degradation in high performance systems as well as understanding the thermal properties of 2-D materials with outlook to quantum technologies.
