Christos Mystilidis has been a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Polariton-driven Light-Matter Interactions (POLIMA) since January 2026. Christos is an electrical engineer by training, having earned his Diploma (Bachelor’s and Master’s) in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in March of 2020. In January of 2021, he moved to Belgium to pursue a PhD in Engineering Science at KU Leuven, completing his doctorate in May 2025.
Christos has a keen interest in Computational Electromagnetics, investigating them across a broad spectrum of applications ranging from antenna engineering to quantum plasmonics. During his PhD, he developed significant expertise in integral-equation techniques and scattering-matrix methods tailored to nanoscopic systems with quantum-corrected material response through sophisticated hydrodynamic models. Currently, Christos is curious about the mathematical formalism of electron beams and is developing numerical methods for plexcitonic and Mie-excitonic systems excited by such probe.
