Dr Anastasios Drosopoulos obtained his BSc (Physics) from the University of Patras Greece in 1982 and the MSc (Physics) and PhD (Electrical and Computer Engineering) from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in 1987 and 1992 respectively. In his PhD dissertation he developed electromagnetic scattering models for microwave frequencies from rough sea surfaces. These models were applied with appropriate signal processing to experimental data collected from lake Huron with an array radar of McMaster University’s Communications Research Lab.

From 1991 to 1997 he worked at the Defense Research Establishment, Ottawa, Canada in the Synthetic Aperture Radar group doing applied research in the area of modeling microwave scattering, transmission and statistical detection from sea surfaces (sea clutter).

In 1997 he joined Nortel, Ottawa where he worked in the area of optical communications in the design and development of digital signal processing software to improve performance of dense wavelength multiplexing optical amplifiers. In 1999 he returned to Greece and worked at Atmel Multimedia and Communications, Patras branch, in wireless network applications.

In 2003 he joined the Electrical Engineering Department of TEI of Western Greece (prior TEI of Patras) as a professor. With the amalgamation of TEI with the University of Peloponnese (2019) this became the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research interests include modeling and applications of communication and energy systems.
