Alexia Toumazatou is a physicist with expertise in Experimental Condensed Matter Physics, nanostructured materials, and photocatalysis. She is currently working as a Researcher at NCSR “Demokritos” within the project 2D-ENGINE – Engineering of New 2D Material Phases Not Existing in Nature, focusing on the development of two-dimensional nanomaterials using liquid catalyst–assisted synthesis approaches. Her research interests center on low-dimensional materials, nanostructured catalysts, and advanced materials for energy and environmental applications.

She holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (2017–2023), where her doctoral research focused on titanium dioxide photonic crystals for enhanced photocatalytic efficiency via slow photon effects under visible-light irradiation. Her doctoral studies were supported by a scholarship from the Onassis Foundation. She also earned an M.Sc. in Physics with specialization in Materials Physics from the same institution (2014–2017), and a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Patras (2008–2013).

Alexia has research experience in materials synthesis and fabrication, optical and electrochemical characterization techniques (UV–Vis–NIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, ICP-OES, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy), and photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical measurements. She has worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Epitaxy and Surface Science Laboratory of NCSR “Demokritos”, contributing to the development of third-generation photovoltaic materials and devices, and as a Research and Innovation Engineer in the field of catalyst development and critical raw materials recovery. 4 of IAM-I an EU private-public partnership on advanced materials.
