Almost a year!

Dear readers, My PhD journey started 10 months ago. I must admit. Although PhD life is stressful and a bit hard during its first days, things are getting better everyday. Let's recap together my first year. USES2 Doctoral Network allowed me to meet ambitious researchers and more importantly great and gentle people. From my first interactions with them, during the First Training Week in Paris, I understood that this program has a lot to offer, both in developing my skills and my personality. During my Second Training Week in Berlin, I was reassured that the Doctoral Candidates, Supervisors and Partners of this project are experts in their domain and they will help me improve through scientific discussions and organized seminars. One special thing about the project is the secondments. I already had my first experience in Airbus, Madrid, where I watched carefully from the inside how such a large company works and I initiated collaborations of great scientific interest. My next mission...
 Hello, my name is Marios Kaminiotis. I am from Greece and I am 26 years old. I am a Doctoral Candidate of the European Project USES2. Regarding my academic background I studied Physics in University of Patras Greece and when I gratuated, I immediately enrolled in a Master's Program in Chemical Engineeiring Department of the same University about Science and Technology of Polymers and Composite Materials. There, I had the opportunity to study and develop a fibrous materials synthesis technique called electrospinning. I used the obtained polymeric materials in various applications such as photocatalysis, counterfeit and triboelectric nanogenerators. Triboelectric nanogenerators are energy harvesting devices that utilize the coupling of contact electrification and electrostatic induction to convert mechanical energy to electricity. In USES2 project, we want to embed sensors in enormous structures like wind turbines, bridges, railways and aircrafts, in order to detect defects and anom...
