Dr. Eleni Drakaki is a collaborated physics researcher in NTUA. She holds a Degree in Physics, Master of Science degree in Physical Sciences and Technologies and a PhD in interaction of laser radiation into biological tissues and metallic objects at Physics Department from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
She has been employed as Research Assistant in the National Technical University of Athens, in the Ī¤echnological Educational Institution of Athens and in the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF).
She has been involved in R&D projects funded from organizations such as the European Union, the Ministry of Development, the Ministry of Education and others.
She has considerable experience :
A. in the area of laser-tissue interactions. Her research interests in this area include clinical studies preferred including measurements on human subjects in-vivo and tissue samples in-vitro, photodynamic therapy and photodiagnosis, optical imaging and fluorescence / reflectance spectroscopy of tissues and tissue simulators, development of laser optical systems for biomedical purposes, digital processing of biological signals: methods and processing techniques, feature extraction, multispectral classification, radiative transfer and surface fluxes. Her experimental study addresses the theoretical study of ligit propagation through light transport models and measurements of the interaction of laser beam with soft and hard human tissues in the diagnosis of pathologic situations in both the dental as well as in skin tissue.
B. in the laser cleaning on metal works of arts and LIBS, XRF, SEM as analytical techniques for the monitoring of laser cleaning processing. Her research interests in this field include the study of the optimal choice of laser in the process of rescuing metal heritage. She had concentrated her research on a specific field of artworks, the coins, (new, ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine), on which she investigated the potential of laser cleaning techniques for conservation. The tests were carried out in different wavelengths and different pulse durations of Q-Switched, Long Q-Switched, and Free Running Nd: YAG laser, TEA-CO2 laser, or Free Running and Q-Switched Er: YAG laser, GaAlAs diode and Ti-Sapphire laser, evaluating in each specific case which of the laser systems seem more appropriate.
She has more than 50 publications in scientific journals and conference proceedings
