Biography

I received my B.Sc. degree in Natural Resources and Environmental Engineering in 2009 from the Technological Educational Institute of Crete, -now known as the Hellenic Mediterranean University (HMU)-, Greece. My diploma thesis focused on “Airborne Microbial Concentrations and PM10 Levels in Air-Conditioned Offices.” Since 2021, I have been an M.Sc. student in Environmental Catalysis for Pollution and Clean Energy Production at the Hellenic Open University, Patras, Greece. I am currently with the Microelectronics Research Group (MRG) at the Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH) in Heraklion, Crete, Greece.

My research activities involve the design of photolithography masks, the design and simulation of fabrication process procedures for semiconductor devices and circuits, the development of innovative technologies for monitoring neural signals, and the implementation of quality control systems for semiconductors, components, and circuits in accordance with ISO standards.

Additionally, I have an active role in the implementation of Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001) in the dual roles of Quality Manager and Lead Auditor for Quality Management Systems, adhering to the ISO 9001:2015 standards. I hold a PMI Project Management Ready certificate and a training diploma in ISO 14064-1:2018 (Greenhouse Gases).

Furthermore, I have participated in training sessions on Emissions Reduction Plans (PAS 2060, ISO 14068-1:2023, SBti), AI Governance best practices (ISO/IEC 42001:2023), and I am currently attending a specialization and training program in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based on ISO 14040/14044.

My research interests also include exploring thin-film optical characterization techniques applied to semiconductor materials, such as Spectroscopic Ellipsometry. I am actively involved in sustainability and environmental research, focusing on innovative solutions to address pollution, enhance clean energy production, and promote more eco-friendly practices in laboratories and cleanrooms. I contribute to the preparation of national and European proposals and participate in research projects.
