PhD Student
Ermioni Vassiou has graduated from Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art at University of Ionian Islands presenting a graduation thesis entitled: ‘The Art of Engraving from 15th to 19th century. Conservation and Preservation of engravings from collections at the Museum of Byzantine Culture in Thessaloniki’.
Ermioni continued her studies at Master’s degree programme in Protection, Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art and Mechanisms (Direction B, MSc) at Faculty of Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Subject of her Master thesis was about: ‘Composition of iron gall inks from historic recipes, application on substrates with various writing instruments and their study before and after accelerated aging’.
Alongside she has work experience in the field of Conservation in Book and Paper, Wall Painting and Wooden Sculpture artifacts. Currently, Ermioni Vassiou is a PhD candidate at University of West Attica continued with a thesis entitled: “Study of physico-chemical degradation of iron gall inks based on historical Byzantine recipes. Investigation of the role of metal ions by non-destructive spectroscopic techniques.” under the supervision of Dr. Andreas Karydas (XRF laboratory, INPP at NCSR “Demokritos”), Prof. Stamatios Boyatzis and Αssistant Professor Vassiliki Kokla at the Department of Conservation of Antiquities and Works of Art, University of West Attica
Alkiviadis Papadpoulos is a member of the Detector Instrumentation laboratory of the CMS group of the Institute of Nuclear & Particle Physics at the N.C.S.R. “Demokritos”. He has graduated from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the University of Patras and he is now a PhD student there. In 2019 and 2020 he worked at CERN as a Technical Student on the Phase-II Upgrade of the CMS Tracker. He is currently working at CERN as a Doctoral Student.
Olga Zormpa has graduated from the Physics Department of the University of Athens (2017) defending her bachelor thesis entitled: “Quantification of the clinical benefit of using new Breast Brachytherapy Plans”.
The period 2017-2019, Olga Zormpa attended the interdepartmental MSc program of the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens (N.T.U.A.). Her master thesis was conducted at the DAMA Laboratory of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics - NCSR “Demokritos” (2018-2019) under the title “Construction of a cosmic stand, using scintillating tiles to study Micro Pattern Gaseous Detectors”.
She is currently, a PhD candidate of the National Technical University of Athens (N.T.U.A). She is part of NCSR Demokritos team in ATLAS experiment and works for the New Small Wheel electronics upgrade. Her work there, focuses on development, validation and integration of the TDAQ system for the sTGC detectors.
In parallel, she is a member of ESSνSB WP5 Group. As part of the NCSR Demokritos group in this project, she works in calculating detector performance using simulated data.
Panagiotis Assiouras is a Phd student at the National Technical University of Athens and he works at the Detector Instrumentation laboratory of the CMS group of the Institute of Nuclear & Particle Physics at the N.C.S.R. “Demokritos”. He is participating to the Phase-II Upgrade of the CMS Tracker. His research interests are experimental particle physics, detector physics and instrumentation for nuclear and particle physics. Ηe has worked on TCAD simulations and electrical characterization measurements of silicon sensors and test structures for the new silicon detectors that will be installed on the phase-II upgrade of the CMS experiment. Also he has worked on the preparation and the upgrade of the laboratory to a Process Quality Control (PQC) center for the Outer Tracker sensors. Currently he is at the final stage of writing he’s phd thesis. He has graduated from the school of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens. As an intern he worked at Detector Instrumentation Laboratory (DIL) of Institute of Nuclear & Particle Physics at N.C.S.R. “Demokritos” where he focused on the study of silicon detectors and after that he held his diploma thesis at NSCR Demokritos in which he worked on capacitance simulations on silicon micro-strip and micro-pixel detectors, by using an numerical algorithm, for solving the Laplace equation. He has also obtained a masters degree in Physics and Technological Applications at National Technical University of Athens. In his master thesis he worked at N.C.S.R. “Demokritos” on the electrical characterization of silicon detector prototypes for high energy physics experiments for the upcoming phase 2 upgrade of the CMS experiment at LHC. During his MSc studies, he has also worked as an intern at the Institute of High Energy Physics at Vienna. He has been a laboratory assistant at NTUA for the detector instrumentation course. His complete list of publications can be found on INSPIRE-HEP.
