Pavlos Lagoudakis
Laboratory of Hybrid Photonics
Center for Photonic Science and Engineering
A graduate of the University of Athens, Greece (2000), Professor Lagoudakis received his PhD degree in physics from the University of Southampton, U.K. (2003), and conducted his postdoctoral research on the optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductors and colloidal nanoparticles at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany. In 2006, he returned to Southampton as lecturer at the School of Physics and Astronomy, where he combined his expertise in inorganic and organic semiconductors and set up a new experimental activity on hybrid photonics. In 2008, he was appointed to a personal chair at the University of Southampton. Between 2016 and 2023, he led an international research effort between the University of Southampton and Skoltech. Since 2024 he is a full professor, director of the Photonics Center, and senior vice president for basic research at Skoltech.
Professor Lagoudakis has published over 200 papers, with his research mainly focused on the quantum fluids of light, light-matter interactions, and hybrid photonics.
— IUPAP award in quantum electronics for his contribution in the field of polaritonics and hybrid photonics (Sydney, 2011).
— Vyzov Prize for future technologies in the category of scientific breakthrough for his research in the field of quantum fluids of light -polaritonics (Moscow, 2023).
