Hatzopoulos Zacharias

Prof. Hatzopoulos Zacharias is an Associate Professor in the Physics Department at the University of Crete, Greece, and a Collaborating Researcher at FORTH-IESL (Institute of Electronic Structure and Systems). He has been affiliated with the University of Crete since 1981, progressing from Lecturer to Assistant Professor and ultimately Associate Professor in 2008. His academic journey includes a B.Sc. in Physics from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1974), an M.Sc. in Electronics from University of Wales (1975), and a Ph.D. in Physics from the same institution (1979).

His research focuses on III-V compound semiconductors (arsenides) grown via Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), with expertise in material growth techniques and semiconductor physics. His work bridges fundamental material science and applied electronic device development.

No scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed, though his long-standing academic and research roles reflect sustained contributions. He has collaborated extensively with FORTH-IESL since 1984, contributing to interdisciplinary research in electronic materials.
