Other

 

George Kopidakis received a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Crete and a Ph.D. in Condensed Matter Physics from Iowa State University in 1995. After his graduate work at Ames Laboratory-Iowa State University, USA, he worked as a research assistant professor at the Center for Atomic-Scale Materials Physics (CAMP), Dept. of Physics, Technical University of Denmark. He then moved to Laboratoire Leon Brillouin (CEA-CNRS), Saclay, France, initially with an individual Marie Curie EC post-doctoral fellowship and later as a CNRS research associate. He was a research associate at the Physics Dept. and a visiting associate professor at the Dept. of Materials Science and Technology, University of Crete, where he was appointed assistant professor in 2003. He is also affiliated researcher at FORTH since 2005.

Interests

• Theory and modeling of materials
• Current activities include atomistic simulations with quantum and classical models for the structural, vibrational, mechanical, electronic, optical properties of amorphous and nanostructured materials, fundamentals and applications of localization and tra

Associate Professor Ioannis N. Remediakis, got his bachelor (1997), masters (1998) PhD (2002) degrees from the Department of Physics, University of Crete. His PhD research (simulations for alloyed semiconductor surfaces) was performed at Harvard University. Between 2002 and 2008, he held teaching and research appointments at the University of Ioannina, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the University of Crete. In 2008, he joined Department of Materials Science and Technology, and shortly after he joined IESL as affiliated University Faculty Member.

Interests

• First-principles computer simulations for low-dimensional systems with applications to nano-chemistry (shape and properties of metal nanoparticles, heterogeneous catalysis) and nano-physics (two-dimensional semiconductors, nanostructured solids).
• Electronic structure theory.
