Research associates
Dr. Anastasia Paulidou. Anastasia was awarded a NCSR Demokritos post doctoral fellowship, 2005-2009. She worked on the X-ray structures of cyclodextrin derivatives and inclusion complexes, as well as application of cyclodextrins in nanotechnology. She has undertaken a teaching position in the TEI of Trikala. a_paulidou"at"hotmail.com
Dr. Davide Maffeo. Davide was supported, 2004-2007, successively by the national projects ARISTEIA & PEP and the European project TASNANO. He worked on the synthesis of a variety of cyclodextrin derivatives for nanotechnology applications, as well as of NMR studies of cyclodextrins in aqueous solutions. Presently he works in the company Technochart. davide_maffeo"at hotmail.com
Dr. Zoi Plyta. Zoi was supported by the national project PENED1999 and she worked on the synthesis of cyclodextrin derivatives. She is presently appointed in the General Chemical State Laboratory of Greece.
