Michail Ikonomou received the engineering degree (Dipl.-Ing.) from Poly­technic University of Braunschweig, Germany, in 1988. His thesis was titled “Development of a Numerical  Analysis Model of a broadband Waveguide-to-Microstrip Transition”.

He worked as research assistant in Institute of High Frequency of Poly­technic University of Braunschweig from 1988 to 1989 and from 1990 to 1995, where he was actively involved in lectures for microwave engineering, research on broadband LNAs in Integrating Waveguide Technology, numerical analysis of planar structures - antennas and several industry projects.

In 1996 he received the PhD degree (Dr.-Ing.) from the Poly­technic University of Braunschweig, Germany. His PhD thesis was titled “Planar Subarrays with a single Feed Line”.

From 1997 to 1999 he worked in INTRACOM Telecom S.A. and C3T ABEE as Measurement & Calibration Engineer and Project Manager in Microwaves and Radio Coverage.

From 1999 to 2002 he worked again for INTRACOM Telecom S.A. He accredited the Calibration Laboratory by the German Accreditation Body (DKD today DAkkS) in 2000 and became Head of the Lab.

In 2002 he changed to INTRACOM Defense Electronics S.A. in the R&D department, where he worked in Radiowave Propagation and Channel Modeling, Antenna Design, Antenna Characterization and Placement, Software Defined Radios (SDR), RF-Design, System Design and Warfare Systems.

From 2010 to 2013 he was the Head of the Radio Frequency and Antenna Department from INTRACOM Defense Electronics S.A..

From 2013 to Jun 2019 he was working as consultant at manu dextra GmbH for the customers A.D.C. Automotive Distance Control Systems GmbHSiemens Healthcare GmbH and AVL Trimerics GmbH in issues of Electromagnetic and Antenna Simulation, ACC antenna integration in complex enviroments (radomes, bumpers) at 76-77GHz, EMC, Optimisation of Measurements by Testing in the Production, Statistical Analysis of Measurements.

In February 2018 he becomes a specialist assessor for the German Accreditation Body (DAkks) in the area of high frequency, antennas, optics, direct current and low frequency measuring quantities.

Since Juli 2019 he is working for A.D.C. Automotive Distance Control Systems GmbH in Munich as expert for 3D-EM simulation and modeling of automotive RADAR-Sensor Integration in vehicles (bumper-radome simulation).

He has authored or coauthored several papers and articles in scientific journals and conferences.
