Costas M. Soukoulis ((ギリシア語:Κώστας Μ. Σούκουλης)) is a Senior Scientist in the Ames Laboratory and a Distinguished Professor of Physics at Iowa State University. He received his B.Sc. from University of Athens in 1974. He obtained his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Chicago in 1978. From 1978 to 1981 he was at the Physics Department at University of Virginia. He spent 3 years (1981–84) at Exxon Research and Engineering Co. and since 1984 has been at Iowa State University (ISU) and Ames Laboratory. He has been an associated member of IESL-FORTH at Heraklion, Crete, Greece since 1984. Soukoulis and his collaborators at Ames Lab/ISU in 1990 and 1994, suggested photonic crystal designs (lattice diamond 〔(Existence of a Photonic Gap in Periodic Dielectric Structures. Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 3152 - 3155 (1990) ).〕 〔 (Photonic Band Gaps in Experimentally Realizable Periodic Dielectric Structures. Europhysics Letters, 16, 563-568 (1991). )〕 and the woodpile structure,〔 (Photonic Band Gaps in Three Dimensions: New Layer-by-layer Periodic Structures. Solid State Communications, 89, 413-416 (1994). )〕 respectively), which gave the largest omnidirectional photonic band gaps. Many experimental groups all over the world still use his woodpile structure to fabricate photonic crystals at optical wavelengths, enhance the spontaneous emission and produce nanolasers with low threshold limit. Soukoulis and Wegener demonstrate magnetic responses〔(Magnetic Response of Metamaterials at 100 Terahertz. Science, 306, 1351-1353 (2004). )〕 and negative index of refraction at optical frequencies 〔(Negative Refractive Index at Optical Wavelengths. Science, 315, 47-49 (2007). )〕 in metamaterials, which do not exist in natural materials. His other researches includes light and Anderson localization, random lasers, graphene and plasmonics. He is a Fellow of the APS, OSA and AAAS. He is a recipient of the 2014 Max Born Award given by the OSA. Soukoulis, Pendry and Smith recipients of the 2013 APS James C. McGroddy Prize “for discovery of metamaterials.” Soukoulis shared (Pendry, Smith, Ozbay and Wegener) the 2005 Descartes Prize, awarded by the European Union, for contributions to metamaterials. He is a recipient of Senior Humboldt Research Award (2002), the first Frances M. Craig endowed chair in Physics Department at ISU (2007), Honorary Doctorate from Vrije University in Brussels (2011) and made the 2014 list of Highly Cited Researchers published by Thomson-Reuters.
