Looking for Partnership Looking for Extra EU Funds
Dr Vassilios Binas serves as Associate Researcher at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL) of the Foundation of the Research and Technology-Hellas (FORTH). He holds a PhD degree from University of Crete in 2010, with the dissertation “Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Nanoporous materials for Adsorption and Catalytic applications”. He is an Associate Researcher at IESL/FORTH and academic fellow at Department of Physics of UoC since 2016. His research interests focus on physicochemical properties of nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications. Particular emphasis is given on photocatalytic nanomaterials for improved air, water and health quality and materials for gas sensing to detect toxic gases. His scientific work has been published in >40 articles in peer reviewed international scientific journals and he has 4 patents. He won important scientific prizes and awards in Competitions of Innovation and Applied Research and gave more than 30 invited lectures including 1 Key-note in international scientific conferences and workshops. He has been selected as a next generation Young Researcher in Strasbourg on 2013 and 2017 at the 4th and 6th World Summit on Materials organized by the Int. Union of Materials Research Societies (IUMRS).
