Nikolas Papadopoulos

Nikolas P. Papadopoulos received his MSc in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2005 and completed his Ph.D. in poly-TFT circuit design at Aristotle Univ. Thessaloniki in 2010, including an ERASMUS scholarship at UPC, Spain, focusing on solution processed TFTs and circuits. After that, he served as a postdoc and research associate with the AFET group at the Univ. of Waterloo, Canada, concentrating on CMOS driving, monitoring, and TFT circuit designs for AMOLED displays. Joining imec in 2015, he specialized in (analog) circuits and RFID/NFC tags on plastic substrates for various publicly funded projects. Since 2022, Nikolas has been serving as a senior researcher and technical lead of TFT circuit design at imec, spearheading the Thin-Film PPD project. 

Nikolas has contributed to the FP7 project PYTHAGORAS and various H2020 projects, including CAPID, A-PATCH, FLICS, PING (EU innovation award winner), Hi-Response, and SMARTEES. With over 70 peer-reviewed publications in prestigious journals such as Nature, IEEE, and SID, his research was showcased on the cover of Nature Electronics in 2019.
