cmesar@uniwa.gr
Assoc. Prof. Charis Mesaritakis acquired his diplom, M.Sc and Ph.D from National and Kapodistrian Univeristy of Athens (Greece). His Ph.D thesis focused on the experimental characterization and numerical modelling of novel regimes of quantum dot mode locked lasers for telecomm and biomedical applications.
He has participated as a researcher in multiple FP6-FP7 and Horizon EU projects. He has been awarded a postdoctoral EU Marie-Curie Fellowship, involving high precision laser telemetry in Thales III-V Labs (France); Followed by two competitive national research grants, PROMITHEAS from the J. Latsis foundation and HFRI NEBULA, both focusing on the investigation of photonic neuromorphic technologies. Currently he serves as technical manager for the EU NEoteRIC the EU PROMETHEUS Horizon and as coordinator for HFRI QUASAR research projects, focusing on photonic neuromorphic and quantum computing paradigms tailored to computing, biomedical and security applications.
From 2019-2025, he served as an associate professor at the department of Information and Communication Systems Engineering at the University of the Aegean, whereas since 2025 he is appointed as Associate Professor in Dept. Biomedical Engineering, University of West Attica. His research interest is spitted among design/implement photonic neuromorphic systems for high bandwidth applications and photonic physical layer cryptographic modules.
He is author and co-author of more than 110 publications in highly cited journals and international conferences. He holds two patents. He serves as regular reviewer for IEEE, OSA, AIP and Springer Journals, whereas he is an associate editor in OPTICA’s Optics Continuum
