I’m a PhD candidate at the Hellenic Mediterranean University (Nano@HMU), focused on thin-film electronics for “harvesting and sensing applications.” In the frame of EU-funded Flagship projects (Graphene Core, EMERGE), I fabricated thin film perovskite-graphene photovoltaics and flexible TDM sensors.

I also support research growth beyond the bench: I successfully drafted proposals on thin film Electronics for EU- or national funding. From 2018–2021, I was responsible for the lab’s procurement of equipment & consumables, including communication with suppliers.

Before my PhD, I built a strong foundation in thin-film electronics through EU-funded and state-funded projects. As a student researcher at the Lab for Thin Films & Nanometrology (LTFN), I increased the efficiency of an ID card-sized Organic Photovoltaic by optimizing ZnO material properties and gravure-printing parameters, and I fabricated the first flexible printed OLED (yellow-green) in Greece using gravure printing.

Earlier still, I gained experience in coordinated research operations through administrative support at the European Commission (DG GROW) for Galileo & EGNOS programmes. I prepared deliverables for dissemination and reports, and I tracked minutes during meetings and conferences—skills I bring to my current work and research documentation.
