Stela Korre graduated from the Department of Physics, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, in 2022.  She is currently completing the MSc program in “Microsystems and Nanodevices”, Department of Physics in S.A.M.P.S., National Technical University of Athens, by conducting her Master’s thesis research entitled “Microfluidic devices for separation and characterization of blood biomarkers” at the Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology, NCSR "Demokritos".

Her research interests focus on the design, microfabrication, and application of microfluidic devices for biomedical diagnostics. Her current work involves the development of two microfluidic devices: one for assessing red blood cell (RBC) deformability by analyzing their flow behavior as they pass through microcapillaries and another for the size-based separation of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs).
