Liontos Ioannis

Dr. Liontos Ioannis serves as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL), Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) in Heraklion, Greece, a position held since September 2018. Previously, he was Assistant Professor at King Saud University's Attosecond Science Laboratory (2016–2018) and held postdoctoral roles at the Center for Plasma Physics & Lasers (Greece) and LENS Institute (University of Florence, Italy).

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Experimental Physics (2007), Atomic & Molecular Physics Laboratory, University of Ioannina
• Postgraduate studies (2001), Physics Department, University of Ioannina
• B.Sc. in Physics (1999), Physics Department, University of Ioannina

His research centers on ultrafast laser phenomena, specializing in attosecond pulse generation, VUV/XUV spectroscopy, and laser-matter interactions across atomic, molecular, and solid-state systems. Key contributions include ultrastable interferometer development for spectroscopic studies, nonlinear optical processes on metallic surfaces, and laser-fabricated diamond detectors. His work bridges fundamental physics with advanced instrumentation for probing ultrafast dynamics.

Associated with major research groups including IESL/FORTH, King Saud University's Attosecond Science Laboratory, and LENS Institute, his current focus involves ultrashort nonlinear interactions and coherent light sources development.
