IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters is a monthly journal that provides fast publication of original and significant contributions to all aspects of microwave/millimeter-wave technology. Emphasis is placed on devices, components, circuits, guided-wave structures, systems, and applications covering the frequency spectrum, including submillimeter-waves and infrared technologies.

Papapolymerou has been on the ECE faculty since 2001. He also serves on the IEEE TAB Periodicals Review and Advisory Committee, which monitors the timeliness, appropriateness, and quality of all IEEE society- and council-sponsored periodicals.

Papapolymerou received the B.S.E.E. degree from the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece, in 1993, the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1994 and 1999, respectively. From 1999-2001 he was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Arizona, Tucson and during the summers of 2000 and 2003 he was a visiting professor at The University of Limoges, France. From 2001-2005 and 2005-2009 he was an Assistant and Associate Professor, respectively, at the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is currently a Professor. He has authored or coauthored over 250 publications in peer-reviewed journals and conferences. His research interests include the implementation of micromachining techniques and MEMS devices in microwave, millimeter-wave and THz circuits and the development of both passive and active planar circuits on semiconductor (Si/SiGe, GaAs) and organic substrates (liquid crystal polymer-LCP, LTCC) for System-on-a-Chip (SOC)/ System-on-a-Package (SOP) RF front ends.
