Scientific profile of the other faculty members of the coordinating Laboratory (CCL) who endorse this candidacy & will actively participate in the organization
The Laboratory of CERAMICS & COMPOSITE MATERIALS (CCL, http://www.materials.uoi.gr/ccl/)of the University of Ioannina, whose member is Dr. Agathopoulos, has a clear aim in the field of Bioceramics.
Michael Karakassides
Associate Professor of Ceramics and Glasses
Director of CCL Laboratory
He is 48 years old. He has more than 80 articles published in prestigious Journals and he has received more than 1200 citations to his work, rising his h-index at about 18.
He is expert on glasses, including bioactive glasses. Recently, two doctorate students of him were awarded with the PhD degree, one of them addressing new phosphate bioglasses. He has also supervised several Master Theses with emphasis to novel bioglasses and bioceramics.
Constantine Beltsios
Associate Professor of Thin-Structured and Membrane Ceramics and Glasses
He is 48 years old. He has more than 60 articles published in prestigious Journals. He is a great writer since he has written more than 3000 pages for students' books and notes.
He is expert on hydroxyapatite and calcium phosphate ceramics with small dimensions and complex shapes, such as special scaffolds, thin films, membranes, etc.
Dimitris Gournis
Associate Professor of Nano-Structured Ceramics and Glasses.
He is 40 years old. He has more than 50 articles published in highly prestigious Journals.
He is expert on special ceramics built at molecular level and functioning also at molecular level, such as clays, which are suitable for drug delivery ceramic-systems.
Dimitris Papayannis
Assistant Professor of Physical-Chemistry
He has just joined the Materials Science Engineering Department. He is expert on tackling special ceramic functions at nano-scale. He is also a good teacher, both at writing students' notes and books as well as designing special exercises in the laboratory. In collaboration with Dr. Agathopoulos, he studies the activity performance of bioglasses while immersed in biological liquids with computer aids.
CCL is the strongest, in terms of scientific outcome and international recognition, Laboratory of Materials Science and Engineering Department.
