Ms. Papanikolaou Athanasia
PostDoctoral Fellow

Athanasia Papanikolaou studied Physics at the Physics Department of the University of Crete (B.Sc.) and received her MSc in “Photonics & Nanoelectronics” from the same department, in 2018.  She joined IESL-FORTH to pursue her undergraduate thesis under the title “Towards the understanding of the two-wavelength laser cleaning in avoiding yellowing on stonework”, and she continues her research work with her MSc thesis focused on the “Development of a photoacoustic monitoring system for the study of laser ablation processes upon the removal of encrustation from stonework”.

In 2019 she received a scholarship to pursue a Ph.D. studied at the Warsaw University of Technology Institute of Micromechanics and Photonics within the CHANGE (https://change-itn.eu/) ITN project. Her aim is to develop a “Portable multimodal system for CH surface measurement and monitoring” under the supervision of prof. Malgorzata Kujawinska.
