Alexandros PapagiannisProf. Alex. Papayannis (Dipl. Ing., DEA, Ph.D.) is the Director of the Laboratory of Optoelectronics, Lasers and Applications (
http://www.physics.ntua.gr/~lola/pages/en.html
) and Professor of Atmospheric Physics, Laser Technology and Laser Remote Sensing at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He received his DEA and Ph.D. Diplomas from the Université Paris 7, working at the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL) du CNRS/Université Paris 6. He is affiliated to the Laboratory of Atmospheric Processes and their Impacts (LAPI) at EPFL.
He is a LiDAR expert (more than 35 years) in vertical profiling of atmospheric parameters, aerosols, bio-aerosols, clouds and gases (O3, H2O, glyoxal) in the troposphere, in combination with sun photometry, satellite data,
in situ
aerosol measurements and meteorological modelling. Being member of the 1st Tropospheric Ozone Network (TOR/TESLAS/EUREKA Projects) in Europe, he created, on 1996, the 1st European lidar Network (France, Switzerland, UK, Germany, Italy, Greece, Portugal). Soon after, he initiated the creation of several lidar groups in Greece, Brazil, Romania, China, etc., as well as of the RAYMETRICS lidar company (
www.raymetrics.com
), which is the first lidar company in the world with customers in throughout Europe, Americas, Asia and Africa. He is a founding member of the European lidar Network (EARLINET) (
www.earlinet.org
), which has been in operation since 2000. The NTUA lidar station serves as a calibration station of the CNES/NASA space lidar mission CALIPSO (
https://www-calipso.larc.nasa.gov/
) and the European Space Agency (ESA) space lidar mission AEOLUS (
https://www.esa.int/Applications/Observing_the_Earth/FutureEO/Aeolus/Introducing_Aeolus
).
His research focuses on the intercontinental transport of ozone, desert dust and biomass burning and continental aerosols and on their impact on clouds, climate, air quality and health. As his 1st Marie Curie ITN Grant (http://itars.uni-koeln.de/static/) combined the synergy of lidars, radars and micro-wave profiling systems to study of the aerosol-clouds interactions, his research is also focusing on the cloud formation processes based on such synergies. In recent years, his emphasis is also put on the typing and profiling of bio-aerosols using novel prototype lidar systems he designed and developed at NTUA.
He is member (2008-2015) and President (2015-2023) of the International Coordination Group for Laser Atmospheric Studies (ICLAS) (
http://iclas-ilrc.org/).
He has served as Co-chair and Member of the Scientific Committee of more than 26 International Conferences, related to lidar atmospheric/meteorological applications. He has participated in 67 research projects (EU, ESA, NASA, CNRS, INOE-Romania, IPEN-Brazil, and Greek national funds) and has published 132 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 6 Book chapters and 250 papers in peer-reviewed International Conferences Proceedings. He has received more than 8.100 citations (h-index 46) in Google Scholar. He has supervised more 15 Ph.D. students at NTUA and 60 M.Sc. Diploma Theses.

John Martin KolinskiDr. Kolinski studied Applied Mathematics (Sc.M.) and Applied Physics (Ph.D.) at Harvard University, completing a PhD under the supervision of L. Mahadevan and Shmuel Rubinstein on the role of air in droplet impact. John did his post-doc at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel supported by the Fulbright post-doctoral fellowship. At HUJI, he worked on interfacial instabilities in soft matter in the labs of Eran Sharon and Jay Fineberg. John continues his research into interfacial mechanics at EPFL in EMSI, his newly founded laboratory for the study of Engineering Mechanics of Soft Interfaces.
Francesco StellacciFrancesco Stellacci graduated in Materials Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano in 1998 with a thesis on photochromic polymers with Prof. Giuseppe Zerbi and Mariacarla Gallazzi. In 1999 he moved to the Chemistry Department of the University of Arizona for as a post-doc in the group of Joe Perry in close collaboration with the group of Seth Marder. In 2002 he moved to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as an assistant professor. He was then promoted to associate without (2006) and with tenure (2009). In 2010 he moved to the Institute of Materials at EPFL as a full Professor. He holds the Alcan EP Chair. Francesco was one of the recipients of the Technology Review TR35 "35 Innovator under 35" award in 2005, and the Popular Science Magazine "Brilliant 10" award in 2007. He has been a Packard Fellow starting 2005.
