Stefania is a PhD candidate at the Nanoscale Transport Phenomena Lab of NCSR “Demokritos” and the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), starting in 2025 under the supervision of Dr. Alexandros El Sachat. Her research focuses on nanoscale energy transport phenomena in low-dimensional materials, within the framework of the ERC project “TheMA.” Her work spans from the fabrication of TMD-based nanostructures to their characterization using high-vacuum scanning probe microscopy techniques. Her doctoral studies are supported by a scholarship from the Research Committee (ELKE) of NTUA.

She obtained her Integrated Master of Engineering degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at NTUA in 2024 and has been a member of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) since 2025. Her diploma thesis, supervised by Dr. Christos Tsamis, focused on the development of PLA-based triboelectric nanogenerators for harvesting mechanical energy from the environment.

During her undergraduate studies, she completed internships abroad at the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (INP) in France and the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany. She also worked as a software engineer at JRC Mobility GmbH on a project for the Mercedes-Benz Group. Also, she was an active member of the Prometheus ECO Racing NTUA Team, contributing to the development of Pyrforos III, an urban concept vehicle.
