Orestis L. Katsamenis

Dr Orestis L. Katsamenis is a Lecturer in Biomedical Imaging at the University of Southampton, affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences (FEPS) and the Faculty of Medicine (FoM). He leads the 3D X-ray Histology and Biomedical Imaging Theme at the μ-VIS X-ray Imaging Centre and holds a visiting position at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust in the Biomedical Imaging Unit of Cellular Pathology and Child Health.

• Education: BSc in Materials Science (University of Patras, 2007), MSc in Materials Science (University of Patras, 2009), PhD in Bioengineering (University of Southampton, 2012).

His research focuses on 3D X-ray Histology (XRH) and Microfocus Computed Tomography (μCT) applied to biological and clinical imaging, pharmaceutical technology, and bone nanostructure. He has pioneered μCT protocols for clinical histology and developed advanced 3D imaging tools for applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and evolutionary biology. His work spans multidisciplinary collaborations with engineers, medical professionals, and paleontologists.

Recent publications highlight his contributions to 3D imaging of bone, microneedle design, 4D-printed polypills, and paleontological studies. He has received awards including the EPSRC Doctoral Prize Award (2012) and multiple scientific presentation honors (2018). Dr Katsamenis supervises PhD student Ayesha Mohiud Din and collaborates with research groups like the Engineering Materials and Surface Engineering Group and the Institute for Life Sciences. His Google Scholar profile lists over 20 recent articles, showing his prolific and diverse research output.
