Stavros Kitsios is a physicist with expertise in Process Engineering and Material Science, currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher at NCSR Demokritos under the EU project CONCEPT (Crystalline Oxides for Next Generation Computing and Emerging Photonic Technologies), at the Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (INN), Athens, Greece (since April 2024). He holds a Ph.D. in Nanotechnology from the National Technical University of Athens (2019–2023), where his research focused on nanoelectronic devices that emulate neural networks. He also earned an M.Sc. in Applied Physics from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen (2013–2016). Stavros has expertise in memory technologies, particularly neuromorphic engineering and resistive random-access memories (ReRAM), as well as proficiency in nanofabrication, materials synthesis, and device characterization, including development techniques such as photolithography and electron beam lithography.

His prior experience includes a research internship at the University of Copenhagen (2017–2018), where he worked on electrophysiological data analysis (EEG, MEG). Stavros’s work has been featured in numerous high-impact publications and conference presentations. His computational skills include Python, C++, LaTeX, and data analysis, alongside expertise in cleanroom protocols and high-vacuum systems (PVD, CVD, MBE). He received the State Scholarships Foundation (IKY) award for the year 2022–2023 and served as a peer reviewer for ACS Publications (2022). He has (co)authored more than 10 scientific publications in international peer-reviewed journals and he has received >150 citations for his work (h-index: 8).
