Pavlos Savvidis (born 18 July 1976) is an Armenian-born Greek physicist. He is Professor at Department of Materials Science and Technology of University of Crete.[1]. He speaks 5 languages (Armenian language, Russian language, English, German, Greek language).
Education
Savvidis was born on 18 July 1976. He was educated at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens where he was awarded a Bachelor degree in Physics 1998. He moved to the University of Southampton where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 2001. During his postgraduate study he was supervised by Jeremy Baumberg where his doctoral research investigated polariton amplification, lasing and condensation in semiconductor microcavities.
Carrier
Following his PhD, Savvidis was a DARPA fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) from 2001 to 2003. He returned to Greece at the University of Crete, elected to an Assistant Professor position at the age of 27. He was promoted to Associate Professor position in 2014 and Full Professor position in 2018.

In 2017 I received the biannual FORTH research institutes 2017 award. In 2019 he took on the new challenge to build new research laboratory in China's first privately funded university (Westlake University) on Quantum Optoelectronics.
Research
His research activities are mainly focused on light matter interactions with special emphasis on low dimensional semiconductor Nanostructure including the design and realization of optoelectronic devices based on fundamentally novel principles.
Personal Life
Born and grown-up in Soviet Armenia he immigrated to Greece in 2003. He is the son of George K. Savvidy, a Soviet-Greek theoretical physicist who worked at the Yerevan Institute of Physics until 2005 and later at the "Democritus" National Research Center in Greece. He has three daughters.
