Fotis Katsaros was born in Athens (1969). He graduated from the National & Kapodistrian Univerisity of Athens-Chemistry Department (1991). He joined the Institute of Physical Chemistry-NCSR Demokritos and received a Scholarship (1993). He received his PhD from National & Kapodistrian Univerisity of Athens, Chemistry Department (2000). He worked for Kleva Ltd Pharmaceuticals in the Quality Control Laboratory (200-2001) and then he joined again NCSR “Demokritos”. During the years 2001-2006 he worked as a permanent scientist in Demokritos. In 2006 he was elected as Researcher in the institute of Physical Chemistry NCSR “Demokritos”. He is a Senior Researcher since 2010. His current research interests focus on

a) Preparation of porous nanostructure materials and nanocomposites,

b) Characterisation of nanomaterials using both static and dynamic techniques as well as novel “in-situ” methodologies,

c) Performance evaluation of nanomaterials in environmental applications, including sorption processes, membrane technology, catalysis, separation in gas and liquid phase and gas storage.

He is also co-author in 36 publications in peer reviewed journals. During his 15-years research, he has been involved in about 15 European and National research projects. Dr. F. Katsaros is the coordinator of the NEXT-GEN-CAT project (FP7-NMP-2011-SMALL-5) for the development of novel PGM free auto-catalysts.
