I am a chemist (B.Sc.: UoC-Chemistry Dpt, 2017; M.Sc. UoC-Chemistry Dpt & IESL-FORTH, 2020) current working on my PhD degree at the Chemistry Dpt. of the University of Crete. The research part of my thesis is carried out at the Dynamics Group of IESL-FORTH.
My research focuses on fuel quality evaluation and adulteration detection using spectrscopic techniques combined with machine learning analysis methods.
The evolutionary path of contemporary wireless communication systems to future ones is twofold. On the one hand it relies on the continuous enhancement of terrestrial cellular communications network such as 4G into 5G and on the other hand on the transition from present satellite communications (Satcom) networks as for instance the Inmarsat (1) to emerging satellite megaconstellation such as Oneweb (2) . In both cases the priority is to increase the service capacity and bridge the so called societal or geographical digital gap. There are plenty of open critical ICT issues at software/data processing level (protocol, spectrum, waveforms management and optimization) and at hardware level. The latter is far more critical as it requires a heavier infrastructural investment and poses tougher technological challenges to be solved.
NANOSMART develops technology based on Carbon NanoTubes (CNT) and 2D materials which have been identified by ITRS as the most promising materials for future electronics. They both offer scalability potential well beyond that of Silicon or any other conventional semiconductor.
NANOSMART will develop all key components to implement wireless transceiver technology based on those materials thus establishing the future generation of analog electronics. In total NANOSMART addresses mmWave ICs and power management using 2 different material technologies complementing each other.

NANOPOLY proposes a ground-breaking yet cost effective method to extend our control over impedance and parasitic phenomena in monolithic circuit components by independently tuning electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of the integrated layers to values far beyond what nature can provide. This approach will re-define all components used in existing analogue circuit design regardless of technology.
NANOPOLY will implement this concept on existing technology such as SiGe and will also employ novel two dimensional materials characterized by high mobility in order to complement minimal thickness and transferability with impedance engineering obtaining unprecedented performance of electronic components. This scheme, i.e. the meta-layers complemented with 2D materials aims at providing an entirely novel concept that of meta-electronics that promise a nano sized circuit platform with a new performance envelope, useful in all future analogue applications such as miniaturized consumer electronics, health monitoring, high-end THz applications e.t.c. As a proof of concept, NANOPOLY will develop a new technological platform, the associated software tool-kit and re-define the existing paradigm of analogue electronic integrated circuits regardless of material family. NANOPOLY will also create:
A set of components and their models exhibiting minimal cross talk and reduced footprint for use in high density analogue design of miniaturized RF circuits,
A proof of concept mmWave, 2D material based Rx/Tx (emitting / receiving) module including the antenna with a total footprint of λ/2 and state of the art performance and
A THz range SiGe based Rx/Tx module with improved performance to showcase the broad applicability of the proposed technology.
