Biography
Dimitrios Peroulis is the Reilly Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Senior Vice President for Partnerships and Online at Purdue University. Reporting directly to the University President, he leads an enterprise representing more than $290 million in annual revenue, encompassing 500+ external partners and 250 professionals across five major portfolios: Industry Partnerships, Global Partnerships, Military Educational and Strategic Partnerships, Engagement, and Purdue University Online. From 2019 to 2023, Peroulis served as the Michael and Katherine Birck Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering and as Special Adviser to the Dean of Engineering for online learning.
His research spans reconfigurable RF and microwave systems, plasma RF electronics, and RF-assisted lyophilization. He is recognized for pioneering reconfigurable filter architectures based on widely tunable, miniaturized cavity resonators that enable dynamic control of RF transfer functions. His laboratory’s technologies have led to four startup companies, including Jones Microwave, where he serves on the board, and LyoWave, which he co-founded and where he also serves as a board member. Peroulis is a Fellow of the IEEE and the IET and has co-authored more than 500 journal and conference publications. He is also co-author of Tunable Evanescent-Mode Filters: Principles, Implementation, and Applications (Wiley-IEEE Press, 2025) and Electrical Engineering Fundamentals (Purdue University Press, 2025), a foundational textbook used by more than 2,000 Purdue engineering students annually across six majors.
His honors include the National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2008), the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society Outstanding Paper Award (2012), the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Outstanding Young Engineer Award (2014) and Tatsuo Itoh Award (2019), and the IEEE Rudolph Henning Distinguished Mentoring Award (2024). His students have also received more than 35 awards and scholarships for their research, publications, and entrepreneurial activities. A dedicated educator and mentor, Peroulis has received 11 teaching awards, including the HKN C. Holmes MacDonald Outstanding Teaching Award and Purdue University’s Charles B. Murphy Outstanding Undergraduate Teaching Award, both in 2010.
