Maria Giovanna Pastore Carbone
Dr. Maria Giovanna Pastore Carbone is Assistant Professor at the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering of the University of the Peloponnese (Patras, Greece). She received her university degree in Materials Engineering and her PhD degree in Materials and Structure Engineering from the Dept. of Chemical, Materials and Production Engineering, University of Napoli Federico II (Italy). She has served as Postdoc Researcher at the Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences of the Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH/ICEHT) and at the Dept. of Chemical Engineering of the University of Patras from 2015 to 2024. Her research follows a multi-scale approach towards the design, the production and the characterization of advanced materials with specific functional and structural properties. She has co-authored 35 scientific papers on international journals (H-index 18), 3 book chapters, 6 patents and has actively participated in more than 40 international conferences. Her current research is focused on the integration of graphene and related materials for the development of multi-functional systems, such as lightweight composites for EMI shielding applications and coatings for protection against UV-vis radiation and permeation of gases/vapours, and sustainable composites enhanced with graphene and other 2DM. By incorporating concepts of materials science, physics, chemistry and nanotechnology, her research targets several applications that will impact our society in the future such as high-performance nanocomposites, sustainable composites, preservation of cultural heritage, sensitive sensors and actuators.
Konstantinos Dassios
Konstantinos Dassios is Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering (Univ. of Patras). He holds a BSc from the same department, MSc from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, USA and carried out his PhD at the Institute for Advanced Materials of the European Commission, The Netherlands. He has more than 15 years of academic experience in the University of Patras, University of Ioannina, Hellenic Open University and University of Naples, Italy. He has participated in US, European and national research projects and has lead, as Principal Investigator, two European Commission Horizon 2020 projects.
Anastasios Manikas
Dr. Anastasios Manikas is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Patras. His research focuses on the development and physicochemical characterization of functional nanomaterials, with a specialization in vibrational spectroscopy (Raman and IR) and two-dimensional materials (2DMs), such as graphene. He has extensive experience in CVD synthesis of single-crystal graphene on liquid metal catalysts, SERS-based biosensors, and multifunctional nanolaminate and composite systems for applications in gas separation, EMI shielding, and sustainable polymer technologies. His approach combines spectroscopy, microscopy, and mechanical diagnostics to explore structure–property relationships across multiple scales. He has participated in more than 20 national and European research projects; he has co-authored over 45 peer-reviewed publications and presented his work at more than 50 international conferences.
