Education

Savvidis was born on 18 July 1976.[ citation needed ] He was educated at University of Athens where he was awarded a bachelor's degree in physics in 1998. He moved to University of Southampton where he was awarded a Ph.D. in 2001. During his postgraduate study, he was supervised by Jeremy Baumberg. His research investigated polariton amplification, lasing and condensation in semiconductor microcavities. [ citation needed ]

Career

Following his PhD, Savvidis was a DARPA fellow at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) (2001-2003). He returned to Greece in 2004 and was appointed as an assistant professor at the University of Crete. He was promoted to associate professor in 2014 and became a full professor in 2018, retiring in 2023. [1]

In 2014 he received a Leverhulme Trust visiting professor fellowship (in humanities) to spend a one-year sabbatical leave at the Cavendish Laboratories of the University of Cambridge. [2]

In 2019, he was appointed as an associate professor at Westlake University and became a full professor in 2023. [3]

Research

His research activities are mainly focused on light-matter interactions with special emphasis on low dimensional semiconductor nanostructures including the design and realization of optoelectronic devices. [4] [5] [6]
