Eleftheria Babaliari

Dr. Eleftheria Babaliari is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), Institute of Electronic Structure and Laser (IESL). She received a Bachelor’s, a Master’s, and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Technology from the University of Crete, Greece, in 2012, 2015, and 2020, respectively. During her undergraduate studies, she joined the Polymer Group of IESL-FORTH, where she worked on the rheology of hard sphere colloidal suspensions and binary mixtures. In her master’s degree program, she joined the Biomaterials Lab of the Department of Materials Science and Technology in Crete, where she studied the effect of microfluidics in biomaterials for bone tissue engineering applications. In 2015, during her Ph.D., she joined the Ultrafast Laser Micro and Nano Processing Group of IESL-FORTH, conducting research on laser-microstructured scaffolds for tissue engineering under dynamic cell culture conditions. Her current research focuses on the development of laser-microstructured scaffolds for tissue engineering applications using ultrafast laser structuring and studying the combined effect of flow-induced shear stress and surface topography on tissue growth.
