Professor Spyros Yannopoulos, coordinator of GRAPHERGIA, and Research Director at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), visited Korea as an invited speaker at the 22nd International Symposium on the Physics of Semiconductors and Applications (ISPSA 2026), held on Jeju island.
During his invited lecture, Prof. Yannopoulos presented recent results from the GRAPHERGIA project, highlighting advances in graphene-enabled flexible electronics, smart textiles, and innovative energy-harvesting and energy-storage technologies developed within the project. The presentation showcased GRAPHERGIA’s contribution to the development of next-generation wearable and flexible systems based on advanced graphene materials.
GRAPHERGIA Vist to Pusan National University
Following the conference, the GRAPHERGIA coordinator visited the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Pusan National University in Busan upon the invitation of Prof. Seoung-Ki Lee. During his visit, he delivered an additional seminar on graphene-enabled flexible technologies and toured Prof. Lee’s research laboratory. Discussions between the researchers focused on opportunities for future collaboration in the fields of smart textiles and flexible electronics, building on their shared scientific interests and complementary expertise.
“This visit offered a valuable opportunity to further disseminate the results of GRAPHERGIA internationally, strengthen the project’s visibility in Asia, and open promising perspectives for future academic collaboration in graphene-enabled flexible and wearable systems“, highlighted Prof. Yannopoulos.
Both professors had already collaborated previously in the GRAPHERGIA Hub Webinar 5 hosted on 17 April 2026, entitled “Laser-based Methods for Graphene and Nanomaterials Integration on Flexible Substrates and Electronic Devices”.
