Brief profile
I obtained my degree in physics from the University of Crete in July 2011.
My BSc thesis was the study of polymer laser ablation using non linear microscopy techniques.
I have a masters degree in Space Systems Engineering from the University of Glasgow, November 2012.
For my MSc thesis I worked on the optimisation of microwave power transmission from solar power satellites to Earth’s surface.
Before starting my Phd at the Politecnico di Milano and PICQUE fellowship, I worked at the Institute of Electronic Structures and Lasers (IESL – FORTH) on topics related to femtosecond laser micro-machining.
