Dr. Johanne Hizanidis (detailed CV here) received her Ph.D. in 2008 from the Institute for Theoretical Physics of the Technische Universität Berlin (Germany), investigating control of noise-induced spatio-temporal dynamics in superlattices. Since her graduation, she has worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Optical Communications Laboratory, Informatics and Telecommunications Department, University of Athens, and the Statistical Mechanics and Nonlinear Dynamics Laboratory of the INN institute at the National Center for Scientific Research “Demokritos”. She has also been a researcher at the Crete Center for Quantum Complexity and Nanotechnology of the Physics Department of the University of Crete. Since 2018 she is the Principal Investigator of the Research Project entitled “SQUID metamaterials: Chimera states and spatio-temporal dynamics” (SQUIRREL) funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation. Her research expertise is on nonlinear dynamics in complex systems, and in particular, on synchronization phenomena and chimera states in coupled superconducting oscillators in metamaterials and complex networks of biological neurons.
