About

I am a PhD researcher in the Department of Physics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. My research interests include Raman spectroscopy, fullerides, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), with particular focus on pressure-induced changes in the properties of closed- and open-shell carbon-based systems. I am a member of the Optics and Spectroscopy Laboratory of the Physics Department, AUTh.

Research focus: Raman spectroscopy, fullerides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and pressure-induced structural and electronic changes in carbon-based systems.
