| Dr. Ioanna Deligkiozi is a Chemical Engineer that graduated from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). She gained her M.Sc. degree in the field of Science and Technology of Materials and defended her Ph.D. thesis «Synthesis and characterisation of new [2]rotaxanes of α-cyclodextrine with diazobenzene containing molecular dumbbells acting as Molecular Switches» in the field of supramolecular chemistry. These advanced supramolecules are a new class of nanomaterials, which have been intensely investigated the last years because of their ability to act as molecular switches or molecular shuttles by providing controllable and reversible transformations. Since then, she has worked as a senior researcher at the “Centre for Research and Technology Hellas”, and as an research associate at the “Center for Technology Research and Innovation”. She has been involved in various National and European Research Projects leading the technical and exploitation management.
Since 2016, she is working at AXIA Innovation as a Business consultant and CEO. She has also been involved in the setup of three Start-up Companies. She has been involved in more than 50 European research projects as senior researcher, technical, dissemination and exploitation manager in FP7, H2020 and HEU projects. She has published more than 60 scientific and technical papers in Journals and Conferences, including three book chapters, and is a reviewer of HELION and MDPI. Since 2015, she is an Expert Evaluator and Monitor of Proposals and Projects of the European Commission. Her interests and goals lie in the wide field of nanomaterials, nanoscience and nanotechnology, with a focus on their exploitation and commersialisation. |
