Maria Pavlidou

Maria Pavlidou is a Researcher at the School of Sciences, Life Sciences Department of European University Cyprus. She holds a PhD in Chemistry from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2012), focusing on 'Spatiotemporal behaviour of non-stoichiometric nanostructured oxides and point defect models.' Her academic journey includes a Master’s (2007) and Bachelor’s (2005) in Chemistry from the same institution. As a Lab Assistant/Supervisor, she contributes to experimental research in corrosion science and interdisciplinary studies in athlete psychology.

Education:

• PhD in Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2012)
• Master’s in Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2007)
• Bachelor of Chemistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2005)

Research Interests: Maria’s work spans corrosion mechanisms of metals in acidic environments, including the role of halides and inhibitors, and the application of point defect models. She has also explored psychological aspects of athlete performance and health through studies on eating disorders and intervention programs in sports like swimming.

Publications Overview: Her research has been published in journals like Chemical Physics Letters, Electrochimica Acta, and Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, with contributions to books such as Pitting Corrosion. Notable themes include iron passivity breakdown, electrochemical oscillations, and athlete psychology.

Awards and Grants: No awards or grants explicitly mentioned.

Labs/Teams: Involved in laboratory work at European University Cyprus’s Life Sciences Department, focusing on corrosion analysis and materials science experiments.
