He also serves as Associate Executive Dean for Enterprise and Entrepreneurship. Goussetis holds a Diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (1998), a PhD in Electronic and Electrical Engineering from the University of Westminster (2002), and a first-class BSc in Physics from University College London (2002). His professional career commenced as an RF Engineer at Space Engineering SpA in Rome (1998-1999), followed by Research Assistant at the University of Westminster (1999), Senior Research Fellow at Loughborough University (2002-2006), Lecturer at Heriot-Watt University (2006-2009), Reader at Queen’s University Belfast (2009-2012), Reader at Heriot-Watt (2013), and promotion to Professor in 2014. He was Visiting Professor at the Technical University of Cartagena, Spain, in 2010.

Goussetis specializes in microwave and antenna components and subsystems for satellite communications and Internet of Things applications. He has authored or co-authored over 500 peer-reviewed papers, one book, five book chapters, and five patents. Key publications include 'Multifunctional Angular Bandpass Filter SIW Leaky-Wave Antenna' (IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, 2017), 'Low-Profile Miniature Dual-Band Polarizing Surface Operation in Orthogonal Polarizations for Broadband Satellite Applications' (IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2017), 'Circular Polarization Frequency Selective Surface Operating in Ku and Ka Band' (IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, 2015), and 'A Compact 12-Way Slotted Waveguide Power Combiner for Ka-band Applications' (IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, 2017). His accolades encompass research fellowships from the Onassis Foundation (2001), Royal Academy of Engineering (2006-2011), and Marie Skłodowska-Curie (2011-2012); the 2011 European Space Agency Young Engineer of the Year Prize; the 2016 Bell Labs Prize; EuCAP 2023 Best Paper Award; IEEE Proceedings 2023 Best Paper Award; and IEEE Fellowship. Goussetis has secured over €4 million in funding as principal or co-investigator on projects such as REVOLVE (H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie, €1.8M, 2017-2020) and QV-LIFT (€3.7M, 2016-2020). He chaired EuCAP 2024, served as Associate Editor for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (2014-2018), and chairs IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Technical Committee 5 and Microwave Theory and Techniques Society Technical Committee 29.
