Spiliopoulos Nikolaos

Dr. Nikolaos Spiliopoulos is an Associate Professor in the Condensed Matter Physics Department at the University of Patras' School of Sciences. His work bridges experimental physics with materials science, focusing on polymer systems, nanomaterials, and plasma physics. He teaches courses such as Electromagnetism I, Physics Laboratory IV-V, and Materials Characterization Techniques Laboratory.

• B.Sci. in Physics (1991), PhD in Chemical Engineering (1997) from University of Patras
• Joined Plasma Technology Lab (1991-1997), Polymer Physics Lab (2000-present)
• 20+ journal publications, 30+ conference presentations

His research spans polymer physics, surface/interface science, and nanomaterials, with a focus on polymer brushes, surface plasmon resonance sensors, and nanopore-based systems. Recent work explores thermally stable nanoparticles for bioactive compound delivery, while earlier studies addressed plasma discharge kinetics and thin film solar cell materials.

Key article trends include nanotechnology applications in biophysics, plasma diagnostics for semiconductor fabrication, and advanced characterization techniques like neutron reflectivity and surface plasmon resonance. He has contributed to European and national projects on renewable energy materials.
