Ioannis Madesis

Ioannis (John) Madesis was born in Athens in 1986. He studied physics at the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). He graduated in 2012 after presenting his Diploma thesis titled “Optical study of the ferroelastic Sb5O7I with the use of Raman spectroscopy (in Greek)”. In October 2012 he was accepted in the Interdepartmental Postgraduate Program “Microsystems and Nanodevices” of the Physics Department of NTUA. His M.Sc. thesis is titled “First-Principles computational study of the High-Temperature SuperConductor YBa2Cu3O7-x (in Greek) and focuses on computational Solid State physics. In October 2013 he enrolled in the School of Sciences and Engineering of the University of Crete as a Ph.D. student in Atomic Physics. One of the primary objectives for his Ph.D. thesis, was the construction of the L45 Atomic Physics beamline in the Tandem Laboratory, along with measuments regarding the statistical population of 1s2s2p states in electron capture to accelerated projectile He-like ions. He is currently completing his thesis.
