Dr. Constantine Sideris

Biography

Constantine Sideris is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC). He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees with honors from the California Institute of Technology in 2010, 2011, and 2017 respectively. Sideris was a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley’s Wireless Research Center from 2013 to 2014 and worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the departments of Electrical Engineering and Computing Mathematical Sciences at Caltech from January 2017 to August 2018. He is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including the ONR Young Investigator Program (YIP) award in 2023, the NSF CAREER award in 2021, the AFOSR YIP award in 2020, the AFOSR DURIP award in 2021, and the Caltech Leadership Award in 2017. Dr. Sideris's research is highly interdisciplinary, bridging the fields of bioengineering, medicine, applied mathematics, computation, electrical engineering, and physics. His research interests include analog/RF integrated circuits, photonic integrated circuits, computational electromagnetics, and biomedical biosensing applications. Current interests in biomedical devices focus on portable point-of-care in-vitro biosensors, wearable devices for real-time monitoring and analysis of biological signals, ingestible 'smart' pills, and implantable devices. In computational electromagnetics, he is developing fast algorithms for simulating RF nanophotonic devices and coupling efficient optimization algorithms to achieve automated design of new high-performance electromagnetic devices.
