George Gorgolis

Dr. George Gorgolis is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Patras and the Institute of Chemical Engineering Sciences of the Foundation for Technology and Research (ICEHT/FORTH). He received his B.S. from the Department of Materials Science of the University of Patras in 2009. In 2012 he obtained his M.S. from the same department. In 2015 he received his Ph.D. from the Department of Environmental Engineering of the University of Patras. He has significant expertise in the synthesis and characterisation of graphene and other two-dimensional materials, and the modification of their properties. His current research interests include the design, synthesis and characterisation of advanced materials, the study of their functional properties (such as mechanical, electrical, chemical, etc.) and their application in innovative fields, including, among others, the development of innovative dyes, sorbents of environmental pollutants, the development of protective coatings from UV-vis radiation, etc. The scientific results obtained during his studies led to the publication of 17 peer-reviewed articles in many international scientific journals (h-index 9, Citations 816, from Google Scholar), 2 national and 1 international patent, as well as his active participation in more than 30 national and international conferences.
