Dimitrios Papageorgiou studied Physics and Materials Science and obtained his PhD in Polymer Nanocomposites from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. He then moved to The University of Manchester as a Research Associate working under the Graphene Flagship project, investigating the use of graphene and other 2D materials as reinforcements for multifunctional, polymer-based nanocomposites. He is currently a Reader in Functional Polymers and Composites at Queen Mary University of London. His research focuses on polymer engineering and polymer nanocomposites, with an emphasis on developing sustainable and high-performance materials. I integrate nanotechnology with polymer science to create biodegradable, recyclable, and multifunctional materials for applications in electronics, packaging, textiles and structural composites. By bridging fundamental materials science with industrial applications, I aim to drive sustainability and innovation in next-generation polymeric materials.
