Vasiliki Tsakaloudi

I am a Senior Research Associate at the Laboratory of Inorganic Materials at the Centre for Research and Technology-Hellas (CERTH). I received my University Diploma in Chemistry (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, AUTh) in 1999. I received my PhD degree in 2007 (Department of Chemical Engineering, AUTh) on the investigation, design and development of soft ferrites and she received her PhD degree from thein 2007.

My research focus lies on building fundamental knowledge and conducting applied research towards the design and development of advanced magnetic ceramic materials for power electronics, sensing, telecommunication, electromagnetic shielding and space applications. I deal with the process design and ceramic processing/ control of spinel and hexagonal ferrites. I am highly experienced in industrial upscaling support and root cause analysis of specific product development issues. I am very well acquainted with several material characterization methods, including morphological, structural, microstructural, thermal, mechanical, and electromagnetic, among others. My current work focuses on the design and development of soft magnetic materials for high-temperature automotive applications, as well as on the investigation of turning industrial wastes into advanced magnetic materials for wireless charging applications.

In the 24 years of my experience on the design and development of magnetic ceramics I have collaborated with several industries to provide scientific support. In addition, I hold active collaborations with several research groups from universities and research institutes with common projects dealing with the investigation of various phenomena related to the chemistry, nature and microstructure of magnetic ceramics targeting to future applications. My publisheed works include 41 peer-reviewed publications, others in proceedings of international scientific conferences and 1 international patent, with a total number of 630 current citations and an h-index of 15.
