About the person

Short vita

Prof. Karagounis studied telecommunications engineering at Cologne University of Applied Sciences. While beginning his professional career in the IT and medical technology industries, the Cologne native completed a supplementary degree in electrical engineering at the Fernuniversität Hagen. As part of his doctorate, he supported the development of a readout chip for the pixel detector at the ATLAS experiment, which is installed at the world’s largest accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, Switzerland. After completing his doctorate, Prof. Karagounis worked for the Infineon subsidiary EPOS GmbH & Co. KG in Duisburg as an analog/mixed-signal designer. There, he developed integrated digital voltage regulators to power microcontrollers for automotive applications. Prof. Karagounis then focused on the development of phase-locked-loop circuits, such as those used in smartphones with navigation functionality, as a radio frequency circuit designer at Intel Mobile Communications GmbH in Duisburg. In 2013, Prof. Karagounis was appointed to a full Professorship in electrical engineering at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences. Since 2016, Prof. Karagounis has been teaching courses in electronics at Fachhochschule Dortmund.
