Nikolaos Bikiaris is a graduate of the Department of Chemistry of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2019), holder of a master's degree from the Department of Chemistry of the same institution (2022) specializing in "Chemistry and Technology of Polymer and Nanocomposite Materials". Since June 2025, he is a PhD holder in the field of Pharmaceutical Technology, of the Department of Pharmacy of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, aimed at the preparation and physicochemical characterization of novel cosmeceutical formulations. His research interests include synthesis and characterization of bio-derived and biodegradable polyesters, copolymers and blends, polymeric composites and nanocomposites, synthesis and characterization of nanocomposite polymeric materials. In addition, he has experience in the mechanical, thermal and structural characterization of materials with FTIR, NMR, XRD, Viscometry, DSC, TGA, GPC/SEC and SEM techniques. Finally, he has worked on the fabrication of polymeric particles through a spray drying technique as well as on the preparation of copolymers through a melt mixing extruder. His research activity has been published in more than 28 research papers in international scientific journals, with over 650 references, and h-index 9 (google scholar), and he participated in 30 national and international scientific conferences. He has also participated in numerous national and EU-funded research projects since 2015 as a researcher.
