Dr. Vasileios Balos

After receiving his BSc and MSc in Applied Physics from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece, Dr. Vasileios Balos pursued a PhD in Physical Chemistry at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, completing it in 2017 through the University of Amsterdam. He then joined the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin as a postdoctoral researcher for four years. In 2021, he was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship, which took him to IMDEA Nanociencia in Madrid, Spain. Since 2024, he has led his own independent research group there, after achieving funding from the “Cesar Nombela” research program of the region of Comunidad de Madrid. His research focuses on elucidating the molecular-level dynamics and processes in the liquid phase, using advanced nonlinear bulk and surface-sensitive spectroscopic techniques.
