Princeton, New Jersey, United States
✴️ I am a Materials Scientist (University of Patras 🇬🇷) with a Ph.D. in Materials Engineering (Loughborough University 🇬🇧) and a specialization in polymer physics. I spent a total of 3 years as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Universities of Birmingham and Bath 🇬🇧, focusing on electrode manufacturing for Li-ion batteries and polymer dielectric physics, respectively. ✴️ As of June 2023, I have been working at the Princeton Materials Institute, affiliated with Princeton University 🇺🇲, as an Associate Research Scholar. My research at Princeton focuses on polymer physics and dielectrics. ✴️ I am the 2024 awardee of the Peter Debye Prize for Young Investigators for Excellence in Dielectric Research, awarded by the International Dielectric Society (IDS), for my contributions to dielectric polymer physics. In 2026, I was recognized as one of the PMSE Future Faculty Honorees by the Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering of the American Chemical Society (ACS). ✴️ Overall, I am the co-author of 2 book chapters and 28 peer-reviewed scientific journal publications, which have attracted over 750 citations according to Google Scholar. My long-term objective is to build an independent research program that drives both fundamental insights and technological innovation in polymer-based materials.
