Apostolos Kalemos

Apostolos Kalemos is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. His academic journey includes a BSc in Chemistry (1989-1992) from the same university, followed by a Magistère in Material Sciences at École Normale Supérieure de Lyon (1992-1995). He earned his PhD in Quantum Chemistry from the University of Athens (1995-2000). After postdoctoral positions (2002-2009), he transitioned to academic roles as Lecturer (2009-2015) and currently holds his Assistant Professor position since 2015.

• Research Focus: Molecular Quantum Mechanics, Computational Chemistry, and Chemical Bonding Analysis.
• Teaching: Quantum Mechanics and Classical Thermodynamics courses at undergraduate/graduate levels.
• Lab Affiliation: Physical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Athens.

His research explores ab initio methods to study molecular electronic structures, with emphasis on hypervalent molecules, transition metal complexes, and reaction mechanisms. Over 60+ peer-reviewed articles highlight his work on species like ClO₂, Be₃, CH₄, and NO₃⁻.

Publications Trends: Recent works focus on ab initio studies of beryllium clusters, ozone derivatives, and novel bonding mechanisms in hypervalent systems. His computational models bridge theoretical predictions with experimental observations in physical chemistry.

Grants & Awards: No specific grants mentioned, but sustained academic contributions reflect consistent research activity. Active in international collaborations, including with institutions like the University of Colorado (Dunning group) and Paris-Saclay University.
