Eleftherios Ν. Economou (Greek: Ελευθέριος Ν. Οικονόμου, romanized: Elefthérios N. Oikonómou; born 7 February 1940) is a Greek theoretical physicist and professor emeritus at the department of physics[1] of the University of Crete. He has contributed to various areas of theoretical condensed matter physics, starting with the study of surface plasmons during his thesis in 1969.
Economou influenced the evolution of theoretical physics in Greece since the late 1970s, as described in detail in a special volume published in 2000, in Physica B, on the occasion on his 60th birthday.[2] His opinion perspective is still solicited[3][4] by major science journals, such as Nature Materials, in particular on how to address challenges related to effects of economic crisis in Greece in science and technology. He contributed substantially to shaping the first steps of the University of Crete[5] and led the effort in creating the Foundation for Research & Technology – Hellas (FORTH), serving as its first director general from its foundation in 1983 until 2004. He has been teaching in the department of physics of the University of Crete since 1982 and also wrote 13 textbooks, mostly in topics related to theoretical physics and condensed matter physics. He has published over 250 refereed papers,[6] which have received more than 23,000 citations according to Google Scholar.[7]
