The ATHENA group at Georgia Tech, led by Dr. Manos Tentzeris, explores the advancing and development of novel technologies for electromagnetic, wireless, RF, mm-wave and sub-THz applications. Their research includes areas such as telecom, defense, space, automotive, health, smart skin, weather/climate and sensing areas and combines inkjet-printing, flexible paper/organic substrates, nanotechnology-based structures and green energy scavenging.
