Dr. Vasileia Melissinaki is a Post-Doctoral fellow at FORTH/IESL.  She received her PhD (2017) and Master’s degree from the Department of Physics of the University of Crete, Greece. In her PhD thesis, she worked on the fabrication and study of 3D micro-optical elements and micro-resonators on optical fibers, as well as their use as gas and liquid sensors. Her research interests include the fabrication of 3D micro-optical elements via multiphoton lithography, the development and study of optical fiber devices using advanced laser techniques, materials processing using ultrafast lasers, as well as the development of 2D and 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering and micro implants for medical applications.

She is the author of 16 peer-reviewed publications in international journals, 6 conference proceedings, and 2 book chapters, with over 1,100 citations (Google Scholar h-index = 15).
