Dimitrios Kontziampasis is an Assistant Professor in Materials Engineering at The University of Leeds, and a Visiting Researcher at the University of Dundee. He is a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Materials Minerals and Mining, the Royal Microscopical Society, the Materials Research Society, and the European Microscope Society. He received his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Ioannina, Greece. His main research interests revolve around crossdisciplinary and applied research, with a focus on surface engineering of materials, for health, energy, and sustainability. Working in the field of bionanotechnology, he mostly strives to control the behavior of cellular and proteinic systems, on their interface with material surfaces, to influence living tissues and organs. In parallel, he aspires to transform manufacturing methodologies for their sustainable transition, as well as to promote pathways and mechanisms for converting conventional materials into advanced ones.
Well done!
