The Nanomaterials for Emerging Devices (Nano@HMU) group is a dedicated research unit within the Institute of Emerging Technologies at the Hellenic Mediterranean University, committed to revolutionizing the landscape of electronic and energy devices. With a primary focus on solution-processable nanomaterials, the group has earned international acclaim for its pioneering work on the interfacial engineering of perovskite and organic solar cells, achieving significant breakthroughs in both device performance and long-term operational stability. Bridging the gap between fundamental research and real-world application, Nano@HMU has established a state-of-the-art Solar Testbed—a specialized infrastructure designed to evaluate the performance of photovoltaic modules and systems under both controlled indoor simulations and actual outdoor environmental conditions. 

The group possesses unparalleled expertise in the formulation and tuning of the optoelectronic properties of graphene and other 2D crystals. Through advanced functionalization and doping techniques, we achieve the precise control of energy levels and work-functions required for next-generation electronics. Furthermore, Nano@HMU leads the development of printable and flexible electronic devices, including high-sensitivity humidity, pressure, and light sensors, as well as innovative memristors designed for complex neuromorphic computations and Edge AI applications.

The group coordinates the interinstitutional postgraduate programme “MSc in Nanotechnology for Energy Applications" developed in the framework of an Erasmus LLP project, with the participation of the University of Crete and the Foundation of Research & Technology and the international conference “Nanotechnologies & Bionanosciences".
