My name is Ioannis and I am a PhD student who joined the nanophotonics department in April 2024. My background relates mainly to fluorescence spectroscopy as it was the main theme of my bachelor's and master's thesis which I conducted in the university of Patras, Greece, the same country I was born and raised in. I am deeply interested in science and I will be studying the photoconductive properties of Van der Waals materials using THz spectroscopy.
