Nanou Eleni

Ms. Nanou Eleni is a PhD candidate in the Physics Department at the University of Patras. She obtained her BSc degree from the Physics Department of the University of Patras in September 2019. Her BSc Thesis was about studying extra virgin olive oil samples, based on their geographical origin via Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique combined with machine learning algorithms. Next, she completed the MSc program “Materials Physics and Technology-Photonics” in the same department in November 2021. Her MSc Thesis was about applying LIBS technique assisted by machine learning algorithms for the discrimination of milk samples based on their animal origin. Now, she is working in the same laboratory (LNLQO), studying various types of materials and progressing the implementation of algorithms.
