Professor Stathatos Appointed Section Editor-in-Chief for "Microelectronics and Optoelectronics"

We are pleased to announce that Professor Elias Stathatos has been appointed as Section Editor-in-Chief of “Microelectronics and Optoelectronics” in Electronics (ISSN 2079-9292; CODEN: ELECGJ). His term started at the beginning of January 2020.

Elias Stathatos graduated from the Physics Department in 1991 and received his PhD in Materials Science/School of Engineering in 1999, both from the University of Patras, Greece. He was a Visiting Scholar at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, in 2004. From 2005 to 2019, he was a faculty member of Technological Educational Institute of Patras and is currently Professor at the University of Peloponnese. In the period 2008–2010, he was Department Head of the Electrical Engineering Department at Technological Educational Institute of Patras.

His research interests encompass different themes, such as conversion of solar into electrical energy using dye-sensitized, quantum dot, and perovskite solar cells employing nanostructured materials. Furthermore, Prof. Stathatos is also interested in the application of electrochromic nanocomposite materials in smart windows as well as OLED and OFET devices and nanosensors in environmental applications. He is the author of more than 130 papers published in ISI journals, six book chapters (a list of publications can be found here), and five international patents related to solar cells and electrochromic devices. He has been an invited speaker or reviewer in numerus international journals. He is also Associate Editor of International Journal of Photoenergy (Hindawi Publishing Corporation) and Elsevier’s Heliyon (Elsevier) in addition to being on the advisory board of their publication Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing. In 2020, he was appointed as Section Editor-in-Chief for the Section “Microelectronics and Optoelectronics” of Electronics. He has also organized several Special Issues in international journals.

We would like to warmly welcome Professor Elias Stathatos as Section Editor-in-Chief and look forward to developing the Section “Microelectronics and Optoelectronics” under his leadership.
