Poulios Ioannis

Ioannis Poulios was born in Serres, Greece in 1954. He received his Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University of Graz, Austria in 1979 and his Dr. Tech. Degree from the same University in 1982. (Ph.D. thesis title: “ZnO Photoeffects under galvanostatic and potentiostatic conditions”). He is currently Professor in the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry at the Department of Chemistry at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. His research interests include Photoelectrochemistry of Semiconductors, Photoelectrochemical Solar Cells, Heterogeneous and Homogeneous Photocatalysis, Solar Detoxification and Disinfection of Wastewaters, Drinking Water and Air. His most recent research efforts are focused on hydrogen production by using photoelectrochemical/ photosynthetic processes. He was organizer of 4 International Conferences on the Environmental Applications of the Advanced Oxidation Processes, he is acting as a referee for most of the journals in the area of Environmental Science, and was guest editor of 16 Special Issues. Also, he has supervised 9 PhD candidates, as well as 16 Postgraduate Students. Prof. I. Poulios was director of the Division Physical, Analytical and Environmental Chemistry of the Chemistry Department and also director of the Physical Chemistry Laboratory.
