CHRYSAFIS ANDREOU
Chrysafis Andreou, Ph.D. joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of the University of Cyprus as a lecturer (tenure track) in 2018, and is the head of the newly-established Nanotechnology Imaging and Detection Lab.
He obtained two B.Sc. degrees (in Physics and in Mathematics) from the Pennsylvania State University (2006), a M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cyprus (2008), and a Ph.D. from the University of California Santa Barbara (2013).
During his Ph.D. studies, he developed microfluidic systems for chemical detection based on SERS. Some of the most relevant applications include detection of methamphetamine in saliva, detection of antibiotics in milk, and real-time analysis of gaseous flows. He has extensive experience in nanoparticle synthesis, sample acquisition and processing, and data analysis with advanced chemometric techniques, as well as numerical simulations for chemical transport phenomena.
Additionally, he worked as a Research Scholar at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (New York, USA) where he engineered molecularly specific SERS nanoprobes and developed new tumor imaging methods based on Raman spectroscopy (2014-2018).
