PhD in Physics, Physics Department, Aristotle Univ. of Thessaloniki, Greece
M.Sc. in Physics of Materials, Physics Department, Aristotle Univ. of Thessaloniki, Greece
Diploma in Physics, Aristotle Univ. of Thessaloniki, Greece

Understanding and manipulating material properties (structural, vibrational, electronic, mechanical, magnetic and superconducting) both chemically (electron/hole doping, modifying the chemical composition or decorating the graphitic surfaces of carbon nanomaterials) and physically (varying an external parameter like temperature, pressure, strain/stress and magnetic field). Current research activities include CVD synthesis of transition metal dichalcogenides (e.g. MoS2, WS2, WSe2, MoxW1-xS2), optical and mechanical properties of 2D materials, production of high volume fraction polymer nanocomposites based on CNTs and 2D materials with superior electrical/thermal/mechanical properties. The experimental findings supported by numerical simulations and theoretical methods such as phenomenological lattice dynamics, molecular dynamics, first-principles calculations, and group theory.
