Georgios Vasilakis is the leader of Quantum Magnetometry lab, which aims to harness the quantum interface between light and atomic ensembles in order to perform quantum enhanced magnetometry.
Before founding the new lab he was a postdoctoral researcher at the BEC and Mattewaves Group with Dr. Wolf von Klitzing at FORTH-IESL, and in the Quantop Group of Eugene Polzik at Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen. He got his Ph.D. from Princeton University, where he completed his thesis "Precision Measurements of Spin Interactions with High Density Atomic Vapors" under the supervision of Michael Romalis.

Giannis joined the Cretan Matter Waves group in March 2015 to work on the ESA-OBST project. He holds a diploma in electrical and computer engineering (2012) from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He received his master's degree from the inter-institutional graduate program “Vision and Optics”, of the University of Crete finishing his master thesis entitled "Vibrational and angular stability of optical systems for space applications" in December 2015. He continued for his PhD working on BEC 1 and OBST, graduating in October 2021. He is now a postdoc on BEC 1 and OBST.
