Cretan Matter Waves Group
Alexandros joined the Cretan Matter-Waves Group in July 2008 as an undergraduate student. He was born in Marousi, Athens and grew up in Chania. He started his studies as an undergraduate at the Physics Departement of the University of Crete in 2003. His main interests are technology/computers/movies. He is now pursuing a PhD in the group of Prof Savvidis at the University of Crete.
Anastasios was born and grew up in Rhodes. He started his studies at the physics department of the University of Crete in 2003. He joined the Cretan Matter-Waves Group in July 2008 as an undergraduate student.
Grigoris joined the Cretan Matter-Waves Group in November 2006 as a Master student. He graduated from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. October 2005 he came to the Physics Departement of the University of Crete to do a Master in General Physics with a specialization in Condensed Matter Physics.
Gregory succesfully defended his thesis (link to pdf) on the 25. January 2012.
Mark was instrumental in setting up BEC 1 and 2 during his postdoc 2006-2009.
Before joining us at the Cretan Matter-Waves Mark did his undergraduate studies in Brisbane, Australia, at the University of Queensland (1996-1998). This was followed by an 18 month stint or work and study in Perth at the University of Western Australia (UWA).
In 2000 he returned to Brisbane, and from 2001-2006 he undertook his PhD studies in metastable atomic beam lithography at the Centre for Quantum Dynamics, Griffith University, under the supervision Dr. Robert Sang and Prof. W. MacGillivra.
Mark is currently a researcher in Quantum Technologies with Defence, Science and Technology Group, Australia, and a Senior Research Fellow (Hon.) at the University of Queensland, where he leads research with optically trapped ultra-cold atoms for precision sensing.
Antonis did his undergraduate degree at the University of Crete, in the course of which he a project on a new type of grating stabilised diode laser.
10/2006-05/2010 PostDoc on BEC1
03/2014-06/2014 PostDoc on BEC1
Daniel did his undergraduate studies in the National University of Mexico (UNAM). After that he carried out a PhD studying the fundamental limitations of atom chips at the Centre for Cold Matter at Imperial College London lead by Ed Hinds in Imperial College, London. In 2006 he joined the Cretan Matter Waves as a postdoc for four years during the lab setup and first BEC experiments. He made a second postdoctoral stay at group of Bjorn Hessmo , part of the Centre for Quantum Technologies, at the National University of Singapore (NUS). In Singapore he worked on fiber optic integration onto atom chips and prepared experiments to study the interaction of micro-nano fibers with cold atoms. During his stay in Singapore Daniel continued to collaborate with the Cretan Matter Waves in experiments related to atom interferometry and lasers.
From June 2014 he has researcher position (tenure track) at UNAM, Mexico City. There he is a founding member of the Laboratory for Quantum Matter of the Physics Institute and has started his own research group

08/2006 – 09/2007 Master Student
Nick joined the Cretan Matter-Waves Group in August 2006 as a Master student. He then did his mandatory service in the Greek army. Nick is now doing a PhD at the University of Patras in Department of Materials Science and also at the Institute of Materials in E.K.E.F.E at the Demokritos Institute in Athens. He is currently working on the theory of nanowires and nanoparticles structures.
07/2006 to 07/2010 Postdoc on BEC 1
Before landing on Crete, he was a member of the Centre for Cold Matter (CCM) group of Prof. Ed Hinds at Imperial College London. There he completed his PhD working on the experiment searching for time reversal symmetry violation in YbF molecules: looking for the interaction of the electric dipole moment of the electron with the molecule via its tiny shift to the molecular energy levels. After his postdoc in Singapore on cold atoms, he quickly became now Chief Technology Officer at a startup company in Singapore. The company uses artificial intelligence and neural networks to analyse credit risks using big data. He is currently Head of Data Science at Tokopedia, an Indonesian unicorn and e-commerce company currently valued at more than 1.1 billion dollars in 2022.
