Angelakos was a noted expert in electromagnetic theory, which formed the basis of his academic contributions and laboratory leadership.
Electromagnetism is a fundamental physical interaction that occurs between particles possessing an electric charge through the mediation of electromagnetic fields. As one of the four fundamental forces of nature, it serves as the primary force governing the interactions between atoms and molecules, thereby dictating the structure of matter.

To analyze these complex interactions, the discipline is formally divided into three sub-disciplines: electrostatics, which studies stationary charges; magnetostatics, which examines steady magnetic fields; and electrodynamics, which explores the behavior of charges in motion.
