On this Friday, 12th of March 2021, and within the framework of the International Office Academy Sci-Cafe Colloquial Talks, Dr. Maria Farsari

(Research Director at FORTH/IESL and the leader of the NLL group) will present her work in Multiphoton Lithography: Principles, Materials, and Applications Multiphoton Lithography is a technique that allows the fabrication of three-dimensional structures with sub-100 nm resolution. It is based on multi-photon absorption; when the beam of an ultra-fast laser is tightly focused on the volume of a transparent, photosensitive material, polymerization can be initiated by non-linear absorption within the focal volume. By moving the laser focus three-dimensionally through the material, 3D structures can be fabricated. The technique has been implemented with a variety of materials and several components and devices have been fabricated such as micro-optics, biomedical devices, and scaffolds for cell growth.

Dr. Maria Farsari’s research activities focus on laser-matter interactions and ultra-fast laser materials processing. She is particularly active in the field of multiphoton polymerization, where she is one of the world leaders in the fabrication and characterization of 3D micro-and nanostructures for applications in photonics, metamaterials, and biomedicine. Dr. Farsari has participated in many FP6, FP7 & H2020 European research projects, and national projects also. Her group consists of three post-doctoral research scientists, three Ph.D. students, one MSc student, and one undergraduate.

She has published over 100 papers in refereed journals; she has received over 5900 citations. Her h-index is 44.

Her seminar talk will start at 1000 AM CET (1100 AM Athens Time).
