Dr. Lykourgos Iordanidis is a senior scientist at RJLG, with more than ten years experience as a chemist. He was recently promoted to manager of the inorganic chemistry laboratory. He has supervised a team in charge of collecting data in a large-scale environmental study of a building located in lower Manhattan, NY, which was severely impacted by the collapse of the World Trade Center. He processed, interpreted and presented data in the form of written reports; and worked in the R&D of additives which add anticorrosion properties to concrete or repair damaged concrete. Furthermore, he is also involved in a variety of other smaller materials characterization, analytical and litigation projects. As a graduate student and post doctoral, Dr Iordanidis worked in the synthesis, physicochemical and structural characterization of different classes of materials that included semiconducting bismuth chalcogenides, molecular compounds, carboxylate-catecholate multimetallic clusters and other porous and extended inorganic and organic solids. Dr. Iordanidis has also become experienced with a variety of X-ray [Powder X-ray Diffraction, Single Crystal X-Ray Diffraction, X-ray Fluorescence, spectroscopic [Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy, Diffuse Reflectance Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Near-IR, Fourier Transform Raman Spectroscopy], thermal [Differential Thermal Analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermal Gravimetric Analysis], microscopy [Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, Transmission Electron Microscopy] and other material characterization techniques. He is a member of American Chemical Society and Material Research Society.
He has a patent: Alkali metal chalcogenides of bismuth alone or with antimony and thermoelectric devices using them, in U.S. 2000 (U.S. Patent No. 6,013,204). He has published in peer-reviewed literature. |
