Konstantinos Giannakopoulos

Dr. Konstantinos P. Giannakopoulos CPhys is a Researcher of INN, expert in nanostructural materials characterisation; he is a Physicist (1995, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) with a PhD (1998, Engineering, University of Liverpool). He has worked in ST Microelectronics (Advanced R&D, Crolles, France). Since 2002 he works in NCSR Demokritos on the growth and structural characterization (esp. with Electron Microscopy) of a large variety of nanomaterials and nanostructures. He has worked on a large variety of Advanced Materials that include: oxides (eg for applications in self cleaning surfaces), semiconductors (e.g. for applications in gas sensors), metallic nanoparticles for applications in nanoelectronics (for advanced non-volatile memories and magnetic recording media), nanoparticles generated in aerosols . Ηis team was among the winners of the EUvsVirus competition (https://covid-eic.easme-web.eu/solution/sers-substrates-virus-detection-exhaled-droplets/about). Ηe sub-coordinated an EU project for the promotion of the field of Advanced Materials to the European public (www.materialsfuture.eu). Recently he coordinated an ERANET project on self cleaning mirrors (https://www.solar-era.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/084_Nano4CSP_final_Summary.pdf)..) He has co-organised 20 National and International Conferences (incl EUROMAT 2017), and he is the co-author of 112 peer-reviewed scientific publications in scientific Journals (85) and Conference Proceedings; he has received more than 1680 references for his work (h-index 24).
