Short Curriculum Vitae
Nikos Pelekanos obtained his Ph.D in 1991 from
Brown University (USA), on the optical properties of two-dimensional
II-VI compound semiconductors. After a number of post-doctoral stays
in various European labs, including the France Telecom Research Center
in Lannion and the Max-Planck Institute in Stuttgart, he joined the
Semiconductor Physics Laboratory at CEA-Grenoble from 1995 until
2001. Next, he joined the Microelectronics Research group at FORTH in
2001 and the Materials Science and Technology Department of the
University of Crete in 2003. His main research theme is the
demonstration of novel semiconductor nanophotonic devices. He has
coordinated/participated in numerous European, bilateral and national
projects. He has obtained the "Solar Innovation 2010" award for his
proposal on third-generation low-dimensional semiconductor solar
cells, and more recently a Chair of Excellence LANEF, funded by the
French government, for a project entitled “Nanowire Innovative Solar
Cells”. He has published about 250 publications (2900 citations, h=28)
in refereed journals and conference proceedings and holds 6 technical
patents.
