Position: Research Director and Vice Director at the Institute of Electronic structure and laser (IESL) of the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH), Heraklion, Greece
Specialization: Laser-based biomimetic engineering of materials for advanced optoelectronic and biomedical applications.
At the NANOCON´24 conference Emmanuel Stratakis will open the Session A – Nanomaterials for Electronic, Magnetic and Optic Applications, Carbon Nanostructures, Quantum Dots by the lecture “Pulsed Laser Assisted Generation of 2D Materials and Diagnostics”.
Personal Background and Education:
Dr. Emmanuel Stratakis studied at the University of Crete, Greece, where he graduated in Condensed matter Physics in 1997 and received also his Ph.D. in Physics in 2001. After graduating, he joined as a visiting Researcher the IESL-FORTH working on the ultrafast laser engineering of materials and as an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Materials Science and Technology, University of Crete. He has been a Visiting Scientist at the University of California Berkeley, U.S.A. in the fall semesters of 2006 and 2008.
In 2007 he was elected Researcher at IESL-FORTH, where he is leading the “Ultrafast Laser Micro- and Nano- processing” laboratory.
Since 2015, he is the Director of the Nanoscience Facility of FORTH, part of the NFFA-Europe PILOT EU Infrastructure, where he is a member of the General Assembly.
He is an OPTICA Fellow and Ambassador of the European Innovation Council. He is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Biomimetic (www.biomimetic.gr).
Research interests:
Research interests of Emmanuel Stratakis are particularly in the fields of ultrafast laser interactions with materials for biomimetic micro- and nano- structuring; advanced photonic processes for photovoltaics and energy storage; nanomaterials synthesis and diagnostics for optoelectronics and biomaterials processing for tissue engineering.
