Savvas is currently a Ph.D. student under the supervision of Dr.Maria Farsari. He received his bachelor’s degree in the Physics Department of the University of Athens in 2021, focusing on computational electrodynamics using Finite Different Time Domain (FDTD) method for the study of metamaterials under the supervision of Prof. Kosmas Tsakmakidis. He received his Master’s degree “In Photonics and Nanoelectronics” in 2023. He joined the research group of Dr. Maria Farsari at FORTH/IESL in 2022, focusing on the development and fabrication of electromagnetic metamaterials using FDTD and Multiphoton Polymerization, as well as in metallization research under the supervision of Dr. Maria Farsari and Prof. Maria Kafesaki. He was awarded an ΑΔΜΗΕ scholarship from Greece for the development of a metasurface for energy harvesting in solar cells, for the best idea in Energy and Environment issues.
