Dr. Nikolaos Dimakis (Professor and Chair, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA)
has accepted the offer from the Athens Institute to serve as the next Deputy Director of the Sciences Division
advance the applications of these materials in energy storage and conversion technologies.
As the Deputy Director, Dr. Dimakis will collaborate with the Head of the Natural Sciences Unit (Dr. Haiduke Sarafian, Professor of Physics and Endowed Chair of John T. and Paige S. Smith Professor of Science, Pennsylvania State University, USA) and the Director of the Sciences Division (Dr. Ampalavanar Nanthakumar, Professor, State University of New York , Oswego, USA.) in the organization of all the conferences (small symposiums) organized by the Division and the Unit. He will also serve as associate editor of the Athens Journal of Sciences.
Dr. Dimakis has published extensively in this field, including notable works such as:
