Maria Kafesaki is Professor in the Dept. of Materials Science and Technology of the
University of Crete and Adjunct Researcher at the Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL)
of Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (FORTH). She obtained her Ph.D. in 1997, at the
Physics Department of the University of Crete, Greece, on elastic wave propagation in complex media.
She has worked as post-doctoral researcher in the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas in Madrid,
Spain, and in IESL of FORTH (1997-2001). Her current research is on the area of electromagnetic wave
propagation in periodic and random media, with emphasis on photonic crystals and metamaterials,
where she has large theoretical and computational experience. She has more than 140 publications
in refereed journals (with more than 8500 citations and h-index=48, according to Web of Science, November 2023),
and more than 80 invited talks at international conferences/schools and Institutions. She has participated
in many European projects as well as in the organization of many international conferences and schools.
