Dr. Elmina Kabouraki received her PhD degree from the department of Materials Science and Technology of the University of Crete. She received her Bachelor (2009) and Master degree (2012) from the same department. Among her research interests are the synthesis of hybrid photosensitive materials, synthesis of quantum dots and the fabrication of three-dimensional photonic devices via the multi-photon polymerization technique. In her PhD thesis she was involved in the synthesis of novel photosensitive materials and in the fabrication of optical switching devices as well as three-dimensional photonic crystal lasers. She is a part of the Polymer Synthesis laboratory at the University of Crete under the supervision of Prof. Maria Vamvakaki and of the Non-Linear lithography (NLL) group which is located at FORTH-IESL under the supervision of Dr. Farsari Maria.
