Dr. Dimitrios Tasis (chemist, Ph D) has worked for more than two years in the prestigious group of Prof. Maurizio Prato in the field of chemical functionalization of graphitic allotropes (2002-2004). During the past seven years he is teaching as Lecturer and Assist. Prof. in the Department of Materials Science, Univ. Patras, Greece. His research interests include the chemistry of graphitic allotropes for the fabrication of multifunctional polymer composites. He is the co-author of 40 publications in peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings and book chapters. He has participated in 50 national/international conferences and delivered 10 invited lectures. He has co-authored some very successful articles/reviews in the past 5 years [Chemical Reviews2006, p.1105 (>1000 citations); Carbon2008, p.833 (110 citations, most cited); Progress in Polymer Science2010, p.357 (40 citations, most cited)]. He is Guest Editor for a thematic issue in the journal CURRENT ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (Bentham Publishers). Title of the thematic issue: Chemistry of carbon-based nanostructures and applications in nanotechnology (April 2011, issue No8). In addition, he has contributed in the preparation of an invited chapter entitled Carbon nanotube filled polymer composites Authors: D. Tasis, K.
