The effect of interfacial stresses on foam and emulsion stability
Lecturer: Asst. Prof. Manolis Chatzigiannakis
Friday 26 September 2025 at 16:00
The stability and rheology of multiphase materials, such as foams and emulsions, are largely governed by the properties of their interfaces and the behavior of thin liquid films (TLFs) separating interacting droplets or bubbles. When two bubbles come [...]Stimuli-responsive natural lipid droplets for selective lipid trafficking
Lecturer: Assoc. Prof. Costas Nikiforidis
Friday 26 September 2025 at 15:00
Natural lipid droplets (LDs or oleosomes) play a crucial role in the biological function of cells, due to their ability to traffic lipids through their triacylglycerol core. By combining experimental techniques with molecular dynamics simulations, we [...]Emergent behaviors of self-organized, soft matter systems
Lecturer: Emmanouela Filippidi
Thursday 12 June 2025 at 14:00
While reductionism, which operates on the idea that to understand the behavior of a complex system we need to break it down to its constituent parts and understand the physics that governs each of the parts, is an extremely powerful and necessary app [...]Designing Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium, Beyond Lithium, and a Sustainable Future
Lecturer: Emmanouil Glynos
Friday 30 May 2025 at 14:00
As the demand for high-performance, sustainable energy storage systems intensifies, lithium-based battery technologies remain at the forefront due to their high energy density and technological maturity. However, to meet future challenges in safety, [...]Exploring 2D materials with theory and simulation
Lecturer: Georgios Kopidakis
Thursday 29 May 2025 at 12:00
Two-dimensional (2D) materials of atomic thickness exhibit interesting physics and show great promise in electronics, optoelectronics, quantum technologies, catalysis, clean energy and environment applications. Beyond graphene, many 2D materials with [...]Biomaterials for Precision Medicine
Lecturer: Dr. Edmondo Battista
Thursday 15 May 2025 at 14:00
The talk will explore biomaterials in precision healthcare, highlighting two key areas: the use of functionalized particles—such as hydrogels and microgels—for multiplexed detection of biological targets in in-vitro diagnostics, and the design of [...]Η Ιστορία των Επιστημών στην Επικοινωνία της Επιστήμης
Lecturer: Dr. Emmanouil Kartsonakis
Friday 04 April 2025 at 14:00
H Επικοινωνία της Επιστήμης στοχεύει να αναδείξει τις διαδρομές μέσα από τις οποίες συγκροτούνται οι επιστήμες και η τεχνολογία. Να προσ [...]Advanced Functional Materials as Conductometric Gas Sensors
Lecturer: Emmanouil Gagaoudakis
Friday 24 January 2025 at 14:00
Gas sensors are of great importance in a wide variety of sectors, such as medical, food safety/smart packaging, energy (flammable/explosive gases) as well as environment (monitoring of air quality). Thus, nitric oxide (NO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydr [...]Optical Spectroscopy and Twistronics: Engineering Novel States in Atomically Thin Materials
Lecturer: Ioannis Paradeisanos
Friday 20 December 2024 at 14:00
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene and monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), exhibit exceptional light-matter interactions due to their reduced dimensionality and unique crystal symmetries. While only a few dozen layere [...]Serendipity versus determinism – ‘Curiosity-driven’ research closing an eye to applications: the case of nanomaterials
Lecturer: Stefanos Mourdikoudis
Friday 13 December 2024 at 14:00
Στην ομιλία αυτή, ο κ. Μουρδικούδης θα παρουσιάσει αρχικά ένα μέρος του ερευνητικού έργου που έχει επιτελέσει ως τώρα. Αυτό σχετίζεται κυ [...]
