Permanent Researchers

• Gogolides, Evangelos

Dr Evangelos Gogolides has a Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens-Greece (1985), an MSc (1987) and a PhD in Chemical Engineering (1990) both from MIT-USA. His thesis work was on plasma processing and plasma process simulation. He did research on microlithography with Michael Hatzakis at NCSR “Demokritos”. Dr Gogolides is an author of more than 100 publications and 7 patents, and coordinator of several research projects on Next Generation Lithography (NGL) and Nanofabrication using lithography and plasma etching. He is now Director of Research at NCSR “Demokritos”. His current research interests include micro and nano patterning and simulation for nanoelectronics, MEMS, bioMEMS and micro(nano)fluidics, as well as material surface nano-texture and property modification for nano and nano-bio applications. He uses plasma technology as an enabling technology for such applications. He was conference program-chair for Micro and Nano Engineering Conference MNE-1997, program and steering committee member of MNE, and conference chair for the 34th MNE 2008.

• Tserepi, Angeliki

Dr Angeliki Tserepi received the B.Sc. Degree in Physics from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece, in 1985, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Ohio State University, USA, in 1990 and 1994, respectively. Over the period 1994-1996, she held a Post-Doctoral European Fellowship (“Marie Curie”) at the University Joseph Fourier of Grenoble, France, and at the Institute of Microelectronics (IMEL)–NCSR "Demokritos", Greece (Return Grant, Training and Mobility of Researchers) 1996-1997. Since 1997, she is with IMEL working on plasma processing of materials for applications in micro- nano-technology and microsystem fabrication. Her current research interests include fabrication of microfluidic devices and mechanisms for liquid transport, as well as micro-array technology. She is the author and co-author of more than 50 publications in refereed international journals and holds 5 patents.

• Constantoudis, Vassilios

Dr Vassilios Constantoudis received the degree in physics from the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1989. Then, he continued his postgraduate studies in the Institute of Theoretical and Physical Chemistry, National Hellenic Research Foundation, Athens, Greece, where he worked on the theory and applications of nonlinear and chaotic systems. He received the PhD degree from the University of Athens, Greece, with a thesis on the nonlinear dynamics of magnetic systems in 1999. After two years post-doctoral research in the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, where he worked on applications of chaotic dynamics to laser induced molecular dissociation processes, he became a member of the plasma group in the Institute of Microelectronics, National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos”, Aghia Paraskevi, Attiki, Greece, where he is currently working. Since then, his main research interest has been in the problem of roughness characterization, formation, simulation, theoretical description and application on nanoscale. He has investigated it in both microlithography and plasma etching processes. He is an author of 40 publications which have been cited by third party more than 100 times.
