Paraskevas Kontis

Paraskevas Kontis is an Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Department of Materials Science and Engineering, where he is part of the Physical Metallurgy group. Previously, he held roles including Group Leader (2020-2021) and Deputy Group Leader (2018-2020) at the Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at both the Max-Planck-Institut and the University of Oxford (2016-2020). He earned his DPhil (PhD) in Materials from the University of Oxford (2013-2016).

His research focuses on understanding atomic-level structure-property relationships in metallic alloys, particularly for high-performance superalloys in extreme environments. Key methodologies include atom probe tomography, aiming to develop hydrogen-resistant alloys to advance zero-emission technologies.
