Antonios Kelarakis

• Reader in Polymers ad Nanomaterials, School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences, University of Lancashire

Antonios has established a long track record in ground-breaking research and product development and his publications cover a broad area of topics related to nanomaterials, nanocomposites, nanosensors, colloids, polymers, smart coatings, aerogels, biomaterials, energy materials and forensic nanotools. Antonios' research is interdisciplinary in nature (it combines elements from material science, nanotechnology, chemistry, biology, pharmacy and medicine) and emphasizes on the development of a new generation of energy-efficient materials and the establishment of green chemical approaches for a sustainable future.

Currently Antonios is leading a high-profile research group that has hosted more than 20 postgraduate students within the last five years and numerous undergraduate students, Erasmus exchange students and international visitors. Over the years Antonios' research resulted in the development of self-assembled nanostructures with unique characteristics, the preparation of smart coatings, the emergence of ultrabright nanoemitters and the synthesis of multifunctional nanomaterials with advanced performance.

Antonios has established long-term collaborations with several institutions such as University of Manchester (U.K.), Ilmenau Technical University (Germany), Adam Mickiewicz University (Poland), Ondokuz Mayis University (Turkey), East China University of Science and Technology (China), Songkla University (Thailand).
