I have had extensive work experience as an accomplished researcher with over 7 years’ experience in the field of Photo Physics (Laser), Physical Chemistry and Material Science My key areas of expertise include, but are not limited to the following;  A solid background in the development and controlling of complex improvised experimental setups for optical and industrial applications, with parallel electronic support and opto-electronic synchronization where needed. Indicatively, I mention the modified fluorescent microscope for the single molecule detection (UTexas, Austin) and the experimental technique of determining the parameters of water vapor transmission through the membranes operating in controlled temperature and humidity conditions (FORTH/ICE-HT).  Having a well-deserved reputation on non-conventional materials analysis methods (single molecule spectroscopy) gained in the lab of the UTexas equipped with advanced infrastructure, I think that gave me strong skills for managing and solving scientific and industrial problems under the pressure of a highly competitive environment. In addition, the research experience in a wide range of applications will provide a solid basis to address scientific problem analysis and investigation of divergences in the transfer of research knowledge to innovative material technologies and the development of sensors.  Possessing a convincing track record on the assertion (novel ideas and writing of proposals) and on the scientific support (experiments, results dissemination, presentations in review meetings and international conferences) of research projects. I believe that my skills, experience, and reputation for excellence can greatly enhance the interest of relative companies. I have a proven track record of responsibility, integrity and commitment to companies objectives. I am comfortable working independently or as part of a team.
