Dr. Hausmann Niklas
Niklas is an environmental Archaeologist, who is interested in the geochemical analysis of marine shells to determine short-term climatic fluctuations in the past.
He was employed at IESL-FORTH for two years to develop an efficient way of analysing archaeological shell remains using LIBS as part of his EU-funded Marie Curie Project.
In 2021 he started a new research group at the Leibniz Research Institute for Archaeology in Mainz (Germany) in which he and his team apply LIBS to archaeological shells from the Mediterranean dating to the Neolithic period.

Ms. Malegiannaki Irene

Irene Malegiannaki studied chemistry at the Chemistry Department of the University of Crete (B.Sc.) and received her M.Sc. degree in Physical Chemistry from the same department, in 2020. She joined IESL-FORTH for her MSc thesis focused on Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for the analysis of both biogeochemical archives for paleoenvironmental studies and archaeological bronze objects. In 2021, she continued with an Erasmus traineeship at the University of Malaga Laser Lab focusing on LIBS analysis of single particles in an optical trap.

In 2021, she received a scholarship to pursue her Ph.D. within the DEEPICE  MSCA ITN project at the Niels Bohr Institute - University of Copenhagen, under the supervision of Asist. Prof. Vasileios Gkinis, Prof. Dorthe-Dahl Jensen (Niels Bohr Institute - University of Copenhagen) and Prof. Carlo Barbante (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice). She is working on the development of an innovative instrument which couples Laser Ablation with Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy for high quality water isotopic measurements of the Beyond EPICA Oldest Ice core which will be extracted from East Antarctica and it will potentially cover climate history of 1.5 million years.
