Ioanna Bakaimi received the Ph.D. degree from the Functional Nanocrystals and Quantum Magnetism Laboratory at the IESL-FORTH and the Department of Physics, University of Crete, Crete, Greece, in 2015. She is currently a Research Fellow with the Advanced Composite Materials Group, Chemistry Department University of Southampton, Southampton, U.K. Her expertise is focused in the interatomic interactions of solid-state systems and specifically in the interplay of the crystal structure with the physical properties and functionalization of magnetic, dielectric and ferroelectric oxides. Her work focuses on the optimization of lead niobate pyrochlore tunable dielectric thin films for high frequency applications. She was a Guest Researcher in the Neutron Centre of National Institute of Standards and Technology where she carried out neutron diffraction experiments as well as crystal and magnetic structure analysis. Since 2016 she is a Research Fellow with the Advanced Composite Materials Group, the Chemistry Department, University of Southampton.
