  Christos Kalialakis, IEEE Senior Member, was awarded the Ph.D. Degree in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Birmingham, UK in 1999. He received the B.Sc. in Physics and the Master in Telecommunications in 1993 and 1995 both from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (A.U.Th), Greece. He has industry experience in UK as an antenna designer and then in Greece and USA as an RF Hardware Engineer. Since the end of 2002, he has been employed at the National Regulatory Authority of Greece for ICT (EETT) as an Expert on Wireless Communications. He serves as the Deputy Head for the largest EETT regional office since 2004. While at EETT, Dr Kalialakis has been a member of the national delegation in conferences held by international regulatory organizations. Since 2004, he has also been a lecturer adjunct at the Radiocommunications Laboratory, AUTh. Dr Kalialakis has over 40 publications mostly in antenna and microwave engineering topics. He has served as a member of the Technical Programme Committee in 5 international conferences and is currently on the editorial board of 3 journals. He has also been serving as a regular reviewer for several IEEE and IET journals for over 15 years.
  Apostolos Georgiadis was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, in 2002. In 2007, he joined Centre Tecnologic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC), Barcelona, Spain, as a Senior Researcher, where he is involved in energy harvesting, wireless power transfer and radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and active antennas and antenna arrays. Since Apr. 2013 he is Group Leader of the Microwave Systems and Nanotechnology Department at CTTC. He was the Chair of the 2011 IEEE RFID Technologies and Applications (RFID-TA) Conference. He was the Chair of EU COST Action IC0803, RF/Microwave communication subsystems for emerging wireless technologies (RFCSET) and presently he is vice-Chair of EU COST Action IC1301 on Wireless Power Transfer for Sustainable Electronics. He serves as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Microwave Wireless Components Letters, IEEE RFID Virtual Journal and IET Microwaves Antennas and Propagation journals. He is past Chair of the IEEE MTT-S Technical Committee MTT-24 on RFID Technologies and member of IEEE MTT-26 on wireless energy transfer and conversion. He is Editor in Chief of Wireless Power Transfer journal
