Kosmas Galatsis Ph.D.
Dr. Galatsis is currently the Chief Operating Officer of the FENA and WIN Centers at UCLA and affiliated with the DRL research group. Kosmas Galatsis received his B.Eng in Computer Systems (First Class Honors) and his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (RMIT), Australia. His thesis focused on nanocrystalline binary metal oxide seminconductors for gas sensing applications. During his graduate studies, Kosmas was awarded the “Best Postgraduate Technical Paper in Australia” by the IEEE Australia based on his invention of an integrated cabin air quality system based on nanocrystalline binary metal oxide sensors. As part of his graduate studies he spent six months at the University of Brescia (Italy), University of Michigan (USA) and at the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics (China).After working at the RMIT as a research fellow he contracted at Teledyne Technologies (CA, USA) as a principal development engineer leading their efforts in military gas sensor research. He then completed his MBA from LaTrobe University, Australia, majoring in E-Commerce. In 2004, Kosmas arrived to California and was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer (Executive Director) of the Center on Functional Engineered Nano Architectonics at UCLA. In 2005 he was also appointed COO of the Western Institute of Nanoelectronics. Dr Galatsis overlooks over 60 nanoelectronic based projects at over 17 universities. He integrates projects that include nanomaterials, nanostructures, logic/memory devices and nanoarchitectures.

Advanced Dielectric Piezoelectric and Ferroelectrc Materials: Synthesis, Characterisation and ApplicationsThis comprehensive volume covers the latest developments in advanced dielectric, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric materials. Divided into eight parts, it explores high strain high performance piezo- and ferroelectric single crystals, electric field-induced effects and domain engineering, morphotropic phase boundary-related phenomena, high power piezoelectric and microwave dielectric materials, nanoscale piezo- and ferroelectrics, piezo- and ferroelectric films, novel processing and materials, and novel properties of ferroelectrics and related materials. Each chapter looks at key recent research on these materials, their properties, and potential applications. Advanced Structural Materials: Properties, Design Optimization, and ApplicationsA snapshot of the central ideas used to control fracture properties of engineered structural metallic materials, Advanced Structural Materials: Properties, Design Optimization, and Applications illustrates the critical role that advanced structural metallic materials play in aerospace, biomedical, automotive, sporting goods, and other industries in the twenty-first century. The book presents an overview of the structure, properties, and applications of these materials, including the basic ideas behind their design. It contains examples and accessible language, elucidating the basic concepts that guide the development of new alloys and composite materials. With in-depth reviews from leading contributors, the text develops an understanding of the breadth and depth of advances in the field. It begins with a broad introduction to advanced structural materials, then examines materials at the frontiers of emerging applications such as biomaterials, MEMS, amorphous materials, and nanotechnology. The chapter authors are experts in their own right and they assume no prior knowledge of a given material system, delineating the fundamental concepts and applications of advanced structural materials. The rich array of carefully selected topics provides useful insights into the structure, properties, and applications of advanced structural materials. |
